Do you fear that after a third transplant you may need a fourth, fifth, more?

I hate to ask this, but how many hearts until you decide that your body just isn't up to this?

I ask, because my liver is not doing well, all my own doing. Taking that much paracetamol may not kill you but it will fuck up blood tests. I would like to think if/when the time came I would say give it to someone else, but I don't know if I will be strong enough.

Two months is a huge step. It is tragic that the first, brave, volunteer passed, I hope the two months he had with his family afterwards were lovely. And I hope the Doctors and Scientists learned a lot.

I wish you all the luck and scientific advances in the world. Thank you for taking time to answer my questions.
