I found out this year that a favorite singer of mine had a liver transplant early this year. I thought he had a human organ, but my mom informed me that it was a pig's liver! this was done in Europe. He is now touring and seem well. If these organs can extend human life, why isn't this an alternative in the states? i don't know if I would accept an animal's organ if the alternative was death, but I don't have to make that decission, thank God. any ideas on why is not done here?
I was so glad to see your name here. I wondered what happened to you. I'm sorry you're feeling under the weather. Let me know if I can help. You have my number and my email. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and in my prayers.
Alot of transplant centers are using hbv and hcv positive donor organs now. (esp in the past 2 years, more and more centers are using them)
location doesnt really matter tho, because if one center doesnt accept the organ, it gets offered to other centers (you might know what I'm talking about- the offer goes local, then region, then national) So they do get used.
(only used for people who already carry the virus, they''ll infect the new organ anyway)
since I've been on the tp list I've learned more about this than I ever cared to.
What really amazes me tho, is that there's millions with this virus... millions.... been told the reality, but still not signing the cards
what do you think that means

there does seem to be anincrease in recruting of hepc/b pt's to become donnors i dont belive they are transplanting them but are using the organs for research.
at the hosp. where i work at we have 2 in the icu that are hep/b and hepc/hiv that are donnors.

Runningwolf--- whoever told you that was wrong
(and thats the reason people die waiting for a tp-- people like you posting publicly that hcv ORGAN donors arent used)

Hey all....I haven't fallen off the face of the earth!!!! LOL I just "feel" like it! I've been sorta down lately and haven't really had much to say on the forum. I haven't FORGOTTEN anybody here and YOU ALL are still in my PRAYERS! I love you all with the Love of the Lord!!!!! I wish for everybody....good health and peace. Much love and Many Prayers, Cindee~
Hey there Girly!! I'm sorry to hear you are not feeling great and kinda down!! This is the place to come lady,,,,And I have had a few of those some days and just listening to some of the fruitcakes here,,,,haha You can't help but giggle!! I'm glad you told us what was going on though because I was beginning to wonder if you were ok...Take Care and You are in my prayers!!
I was wondering where you were. Nice to know that you are still hanging in there. I know how difficult it is to join in posting when one feels like they are "down in the dumps". Even though that is one reason that we should post...it is hard to find things to say. I know many people were thinking about you....I know I was. Hope things get better for you soon. Good to see you again, Miss Cindee...(You always share your lightness with people to lift them, I hope we can do the same for you...thank you for being you!) :>)
true
strangest part is Ive met alot of people with hep c that haven't signed a card.
(you can tell em over and over and over that they CAN be organ donors------- and everytime its mentioned its treated as new information.)
