    Sending all my best wishes- I can understand that all that is just too much for your family. But please don't forget your sweet baby girl- and look at her to get a smile in these hard times.
    If I'm right then a liver cannot be donated by a living person, so it's about finding one of somebody deceased. But let's first pray that he gets over chemotherapy and take it from there.

    He's got two more, one tomorrow and one on Wednesday then a small break. Does anyone know, if he should need a liver transplant (which he probably will), is it difficult to find a compatible liver? Would us kids need to see if we were a match or is the liver an organ that can be donated by anyone? I feel like that's a stupid question.... like I should know.
    Carmen, no questions are stupid questions, as far as I'm concerned.

    I'm not a medical person. I'm not sure if the liver can be taken in part from a family member and transplanted. I know we have some medical experts on the board.
    I believe the liver will regenerate in certain cases but I would think they would look for a compatible liver from someone that has died and is donating their organs. Not sure though.

    I just want to wish all of you the best again. My best friend started chemo last week. She's on a continuous pump system feeding into a pic line. I know a little bit about how you feel too. it's very very hard to remain stoic and be supportive without breaking down yourself. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

    Thanks Barry!

    Many prayers and healing vibes for him.

    My FIL is going through chemo right now too.
