MASSACHUSETTS/NEW ENGLAND: JOHN CASHMAN NEEDS A NEW LIVER.
my dad was diagnosed with end-stage liver failure last summer. man, has it has upended all of our lives. instead of a summer and fall spent in the yard & pool, we sat in the ICU. instead of celebrating birthdays and holidays, we sat panicked in the ER. to know john is to love him. he is love & warmth. although we have spent much of the last 6 months at the hospital due to his liver failure, he doesn't qualify as sick enough to be on the national transplant list. his only option is a living donor. a living donor would donate ~75% of their liver to john. within ~8 weeks, both john & the donor's liver will almost completely regenerate.
To start the donor evaluation process, candidates complete a donor screening questionnaire by visiting: www.mghlivingdonors.org (recipient: John Cashman | September 7, 1960)
