My DAD:
Cirrohsis at 32 from Hepatitis C,,,,50 Liver Failure from Hep C, 52 Liver Transplant, 2000 Lymphoma from Anti Rejection Meds treated and has been fine. 
Present:  Kidney failure from Meds for the liver transplant
Hepatitis C is very very active which is damaging the liver they are worried that he may need a liver transplant to, but until he is strong enough to get the liver biopsy.  And now he is hit with blood infection that he caught in the hospital ( i feel from nurses being not gentle enough with him)....
Started Dialysis Nov 08...Just waiting to see what the miserable Hep C disease is doing to our liver before we can even think about a kidney transplant!!!! :(

My prayers and thoughts are with everyone!!!

I'm not in that situation but I met a woman ,and her sister-in-law, at my hospital who was facing just that.  I met them when they were doing their cross=matching and I saw the recipient again at the lab after her transplant from her sis-in-law.  She spent one week (!) in the hospital and her donor, who was a doctor, went home after three days.  I was amazed and also very encouraged,
