Thanks for the update Chris.  This sucks. But when you say that you were told at the transplant clinic 'there's nothing much they can do', you don't mean there's any trouble with your transplant do you?  this is still mainly liver?

The transplant is being monitored more through test and more visits. I  now have to see them every 3 months instead of the usual 6months if hospitalized/ 1 year plan.
