I can understand why you feel so scared. Due the fact it is a major surgery and introducing a new organ into your body. But if all goes well it may extend your life so much longer and you could be in better health. I consider you so lucky as I can't even get on the list yet and if could would feel so blessed.

Hang in there and you and your family will be in my prayers.
