Liver-URGENT!  ( HE NEEDS AN ORGAN - DONORS,  he is a type 0 negative and can only be matched with a type 0 negative or 0 positive)  He weighs 175 lbs.  He says he has known for about a year now.  Recently told me he has lesions on his liver, how many? 5   Not good I know, if you know of something, real-medicine that works or could work, drop us an email and let us know....Urgently......He is not on dialysis.  He say's he has one kidney functioning, at what percent ?  He has to have a liver, right now I know....  I also, want to get him out of that thinking, you just don't give up, unless there just is no other alternative.  Meaning, you've tried everything and nothing else works.  He has been through so much in the past two years (marriage, divorce, debt, depression) now this, he is just beat down and I think he has given up and given up hope, scared and maybe in denial or disbelief that this is all happening, which I am blown away, also by it all myself and I am trying to cope, deal with it and understand it all, myself.  I am trying to stay strong for my son, so I can get him through this and maybe the help he needs and to also try to get him on dialysis, before it is to late.  ( The help he needs, now-Liver........)..He also needs to realize he can live on dialysis with some lifestyle changes and doing what he is suppose to do and if we can get him a liver.  ( He will eventually die, if  he does not get a liver and go on dialysis)   If, dialysis would even help right now?  I don't know....He  just turned 25, very smart, very stubborn, proud, independant, little patients ....but a sarcastic very good since of humor, he has always wanted to find the right girl, to settle down with and have a family of his own. Very good job, good at what he does and could go on disability, has good insurance-it would cover everything...for now....He is worried about paying his bills and house, truck and debt.  Trying to get him to realize, his life  is worth more and more important....He works very long hours and a lot of heavy lifting and hard work.  I love him, so very much and we just need your help and support in showing him he is cared for and loved and to get him what he needs, if only a liver for now and then go on dialysis, getting him a donor for kidneys later, also( He is a type 0 negative )   he is 175 lbs.(Help - getting the word out to get him what he needs and as quickly as possible.........I guess in other words were praying and hoping for a miracle....soon......) Please- Help!  make this happen....                                                   Thank You.........                                                      his momPlease, do not overload my email, unless it is an answer to our problem, because I would like to spend what time we have together, with my son...I do appreciate the thought, although and this is not intended to offend anyone. urgent4liver Fri, 17 Aug 2007 00:00:00 GMT
