My friend is probably dying

I'd take a written list of questions to the next appointment. It's easy to loose track when the answers are a little unnerving.

Thank you for the reminder, Bruce. I was thinking of doing this and then forgot. I'll start jotting down my questions this afternoon. Thanks to Cicero and everyone else for their input. I agree that the mind might go blank after hearing a statement like, "You have almost no liver function left. I'm amazed the lab reports came back as well they did." (The lab reports were apparently awful).

Sooner or later, my friend is going to have to draw his family in. I hope for his sake it will be sooner. He needs to have more support than just what I can offer. I feel very inadequate to this task. Everyone's comments have helped alot, though.

I'll keep you all posted.
