Older Donors and Recipients Aid Transplants

Reader Comments

Back to blog

At age 76 I received a "new" liver (last year May, 2009). My donor was 61.

I was in the hospital 5 days, needed only three weeks of home care. Started back at the gym in three months. Am doing great!

I still can't believe it.
