Megan Palone needs your help. She is looking for a living liver donor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June 2023, Palone was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer that metastasized to her liver. Her colon cancer has been completely removed from her colon, but due to lesions and chemotherapy, her liver has become inoperable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“I am very hopeful and determined to beat this. Unfortunately, there is not nearly enough liver organ donors to accommodate the number of people who need a liver, so my family and I are looking to find individuals who might be interested in being a living donor by donating a section of their liver,” says Palone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Palone, a living donor transplant procedure consists of taking half a healthy liver from a donor to replace her cancerous liver; that portion of the donor\u2019s liver will regenerate in 4 \u2013 8 weeks, and the new liver will grow to full size for Palone. There is no medical cost to the donor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The criteria needed to be Palone’s donor are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 18 \u2013 60 years of age<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Blood type A or O<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Male or female<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Be in good general health with a BMI of 30 or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The liver transplantation will take place at the University of Rochester at Strong Memorial Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
