Hi Gayla
Thank you for your email. That's very good of you to give you kidney to your
cousin as there never seems to be enough organs to go round. I'm hoping that
when I need a new liver my twin sister (we're 52 yrs old), will be able to
give me a piece of hers. It would be very nice to have a living donor as it
can be planned in advance. I belong to a group on the internet called
psc-support it was started in the US but now has people from many different
countries. My complaint is a chronic inflammation of the bileducts called
Primary sclerosing cholangitis. I've been fortunate in that the disease has
progressed quite slowly. But my liver is well passed its use by date!
All the best,
Barbara
