My sister has Wilson's disease. She was okay until June 2021 when she developed edema. Later it was found that her liver is not healthy anymore. She was under medication and later doctors advised to undergo transplant. Luckily we found a deceased donor just 2 hours after registering for organ search. She unwent liver transplant in May 2024. As it was done in a Govt. Hospital in Kolkata, India, we didn't have to spend a penny for surgery. Thanks to the donor and his elder brother (who decided to donate his deceased brother's organ). She is now in isolation and recovering well.

Dr. He was my liver transplant surgeon!!! At UNC! I LOVE THIS MAN! HE IS SO AMAZING! I heard his voice when I was deep down in a coma, when i woke up, there he was!!! Its almost been 2 years for me and everytime he sees me he smiles from ear to ear! He always told me exactly what to do and not to do and he will ALWAYS HAVE A HUGE PART IN MY HEART, MY WIFES HEART AND MY 2 DAUGHTERS HEARTS! ♥️

I proud to say that with my chronic liver disease I was able to go to the hospital and within the first week there after all my test they gave me the news. I had a liver waiting on me. My transplant team here in Mass. are the best I'm 2months from my transplant still recent. But hopefully in a few months I'll feel 100%.

Dear sir,
Does the liver size matter? I am a potential donor for my mother. Doctor told me that the size of my liver is likely half of others. I mean It's enough for me. But not for donating. Could you please tell me is it matter in that way?
Thank you
