It’s been two and a half years since my transplant and things have been going great. I pray that everyone can keep the faith and have the success they are hoping for. Cholangiocarcinoma is a tough one. I pray that medical research will advance quickly so more people can experience cures for a longer life with their loved ones.
Keep the Faith,
mnaussHi Kathy,
I had my transplant on March 20th. A liver became available while my wife (my living donor) and I were waiting for our surgeries to be scheduled. Mayo had told us that if a deceased liver became available that they would go that route because there is less chance of complications. I was released from the hospital March 29th and stayed at the transplant house for about two weeks. Things were looking very good so we were given the go ahead to go home on April 11th.
Did you ever tour the transplant house? It is a very nice facility, we had the chance to meet some very nice people. It was helpful to hear all their great stories and the miricles that take place each day at Mayo. Not all the people had stories of success but it was also an inspiration to see how positive these people were and how they were making the best of a not so good sitituation.
We will return to Mayo June 19th and the third week in July. If you happen to be there at these times maybe we could have lunch or just a cup of coffee. That would be nice.

It’s been four months since my staging surgery. I have been up and down on the transplant list currently at number one at Mayo MN. The doctors have decided to go with a living donor and are currently organizing two surgical teams for my transplant. My donor is going to be my wife!!!! We both have the same blood type (B+) and she has been through all the testing and is in great health. They will remove about 70% of her liver and give it to me. She is so excited that she can be my path to better health…I Love her so much. Please keep us in your prayers. Hope great things have been happening to all of you!!!!
God Bless,
mnaussIf you could, ask them what should be done in addition to taking xeloda as far as a treatment. What will be the results of this treatment method.
What were the details of Walter Payton being misdiagnosed? What did Mayo treat him for if not cholangiocarcinoma?
Hope they can help your mother…let me know how it works out
Thank You and God Bless
