Was anybody able to catch the documentary on channel 4, sat. 25th Jan?
I think it is high time that the legislators here in the UK actually
DID something about changing the laws here in the UK to allow
for 'samaritan donations' (as they are referred to in the US).  There
are rigid safeguards in place, in the US system, to ensure that only
people who are suitable are able to donate.  It could work here as
well, if the medical establishment could put aside their own
prejudices.  When will they make these changes?  I hope that this
documentary may inspire someone out there, who is in a position of
authority in this field, to start acting.  And I hope that it may
also inspire others out there to want to donate themselves.  It
showed me that even ordinary people can achieve something wonderful
for someone else.  You too can help to save someone's life.

just to drop a note to say i had two transplants at queen Elizabeth
transplant unit in Birmingham  under Dr Mutrimer .Your baby could not be in
better hands The team at the unit there are totally dedicated and  caring

Hi there,
Just wondering if anyone is on methotrexate.  I have been put on this
instead of MMF because my lung function is decreasing.  I only take it once
a week but have to get my blood taken every week to test my liver and kidney
function as it is quite toxic.
Cheers, Claire xx

Hi Claire,
Sorry to hear your lung function is decreasing. I'm not on Methotrexate, so
I can't help you there either, but I am more than willing to research some
info for you. What is it specifically about Methotrexate you want to know ?

Paul

Hello! I'm from Hong KongI've experienced 2 renal transplant. The
first one was done 2 days after 911 tragedy and that my mother was
the donor. Unfortunately, due ot the problem of blood clod, it
failed on the 22nd day after transplant and the new kidney has to be
removed. It was really shocking. (The transplant was being done in
US) Then, I started to build a web about Post renal transplant home
nursing care with the information I got from my own hospital and

can help those post transplant patients a bit.

I've now just had my 2nd transplant in China for 7 mths. Everything

Hi there Paul,
Aaron's doing fine since they introduced the small dose of MMF and reduced
the Pred!
The sedation(by way of anti-hystamine) has worked a treat and even 'tho' he
can only get it once a week,his sleep pattern seems to be getting better
altogether,YIPPEE!
So.. more sleep ,happier house and the school has seen an improvement too!
And the cherry on the top is at long last Aaron's been appointed a childrens
non-directive play therapist,hopefully to help him understand and overcome
his fears,frustrations and his anger at all he has been put through and all
he's still having to undergo.
I'd sure like to hear from any other parents of transplant kids who may be
in this group...

Hoping this finds you all well

Hi Dianne,  my name is Barbara and I have just read your post. I'm so sorry
for you loss.
    My sister, Norma, died recently. She had an aneurism in her brain. Most of
her organs were transplanted ( lungs couldn't be used because of an
infection).
   The decision to allow transplantation was not difficult, we all knew her
views; in fact I found 8 donor cards in her house when I went to sort things
out! But the reality is so hard, especially having to say goodbye to her when
she was still "breathing". But, hard as it was , we did it.
   We were given a little information afterwards about which patients received
which organs and now, 6 months on, we have been told that all of the
recipients  ( 8 ) are doing very well.
   I know Len was not so fortunate but I am grateful for the fact that Norma's
death was not in vain.
                                              Best wishes Barbara.

supposed to
be temporary access for up to a couple of months, sometimes slightly

I have had several and the last one I had for three years, the

I am from a religious group that believes that transplants are not only
acceptable, but to offer our kidneys to others, even stangers, who need them for
free is a great example of putting our beliefs and faith into practice.  Check

what is the beliefs of your religions and do they think that
transplants are acceptible. If possible give proof like quotes from
religious leaders or your holy books. Examples, etc. will be welcome

Thank you for your letter Judith, I know so few people in this area who have
liver problems, it is nice to have some contact even if only by e-mail.  I
hope you are getting on well now and gradually picking up the threads of life
again.
Best wishes,
Barbara

Hi,
Thank you for your letter, it is reassuring to know that there are good drs
at the Liver Transplant Unit in Birmingham. I haven't been assessed yet but
feel the way I am going it won't be too long.
One thing that bothers me is the distance, obviously most people have this
problem but I have no means of getting there myself and I'm too ill to go all
that way by public transport.  Do they have some sort of arrangements for
patients have that have long distances to go to the Unit?  I find it
exhausting just going to my local hospital which is about 3/4 hours drive.
Thanks again for writing,
Barbara

I am under Dr  Mutimer at Birmingham, they are an absolutely
wonderful team.Do not be afraid to ask them anything ,even if you feel
awkward.I found that they would take the time to explain every thing to my
self and even my two children (my daughter is now 12,and son 10)
              I am now back at work as an office manager in a local DIY store
& I attend college part time .After the transplant you will notice a great
improvement in the quality of life.Initially I found that I felt very poorly
but as time went on I made a full recovery and now live a full life .

Hi Jude
Thank you for emailing me.  I have a chronic inflammation of the bileducts
called primary sclerosing cholangitis.  I have had it for many years but now
my livers getting cirrhosis and so the drs are starting to talk about a
possible transplant fairly soon.  I live in south Oxfordshire so it is some
way from Birmingham but at present that is my nearest tx centre.
Sorry to hear you have had to have 2 tx, most unfortunate.
Best wishes
Barbara

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

I live in Sweden but amfrom the USA originally.
Hope to hear from you soon....

If you feel the need for more people to talk to you might try
bit.listserv.transplant

plenty of posters there, from the world over, transplants of all
types (inc liver)

If you're newsreader is set up you should be able to read it via this link
news:bit.listserv.transplant


although I can't remember how AOL handles USENET newsgroups..

if not then this link
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=bit.listserv.transplant&ie=ISO-8859-1&hl=en
will take you to the list via google

Cheers

Is there anyone who is waiting for a liver transplant free to be an e-
friend or an occasional poster?
If so I live in the UK and have a progessive liver disorder .
