Re: Live donor question(Cheryl)

[Guest guest]

,

I neglected to say when my sister died of breast cancer metastisized to her

liver, I would have donated to her in a second as would any of my other sisters.

This was not possible because it had also metastisized to other parts of her

body. I have ambiguous feelings about it. If it was my child or any child, I

would do it in a heartbeat and be more open to the idea of someone else

donating. Originally, only babies and small children received live donor

transplants. There is not as much risk to the donor when they donate to a

child. They don't have to take so much of the liver. What I feel on behalf of

myself and what I feel on behalf of my children and not the same thing. We have

had people on this site son to dad donation, brother to brother, parent to

child, I can't even remember them all. I would guess that the process of

transplanting from a live donor to another will improve as does all tranplanting

procedures and post transplant protocol continues to do. Take care, Cheryl ID,
