Question: A 56-year-old man has advanced cirrhosis due to alcoholism and has been sober for 4 years. He has been on the liver transplant waiting list for 1 year but has now been diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma. He is told that he will be removed from the list and offered other forms of treatment. Two weeks later, he informs his physician that he will be traveling to another country where he will be able to receive a liver transplant within a month. He has initiated a Web site to help him raise the money. He requests to make follow-up appointments so that he can proactively arrange aftercare upon his return to the United States.
