Re: Organ transplant ?s TW medical stuff

OP here--thanks for the good wishes. I know finding a living donor is a long shot--my mom living to qualify for a transplant at all is a long shot. What I was hoping was that I might offer myself as a living donor for someone else, who, in turn, might have family willing to be a living donor for my mother. (Her brother shares her (unfortunately for them) type O blood type, but he has hepatitis (not C, but still). I don't smoke, drink, take other drugs, or eat meat, and although I'm overweight, I get a lot of exercise and could probably lose enough weight to get that concern out of the way. (Surgery is easier with a middling BMI, right?)

Try asking around family, friends, colleagues, anyone you know. Maybe you can start a campaign of sorts to find someone who is compatible like people do for bone marrow. The scenario you've described sounds possible but I have no idea about specifics, maybe you'd do that through a support group. Ask a doctor, they're qualified to give you better answers.

Yes, it's a tough surgery and lots of testing etc. is involved but some people might be willing to come forward even if they have nothing to gain.
