Piotr— POtential liver Transplant Recipient

My name is Piotr Janosz and I am asking for your help to save my life.

I have Stage IV colon cancer that has metastasized to my liver, my liver is now riddled with lesions. My only chance of being completely cured of cancer is having a living donor transplant.

I am only 51 years old and have two children aged 12 and 11. I would like to be able to see them grow up and spend some more time with my wife. I'm a big football and hockey fan, I like Jeeps and motorcycles, and I enjoy being outdoors and working around the house and yard. Most of all, I love spending time with my wife and kids. We have always enjoyed going on family road trips to see grandparents, historical sites, visit the beach, and more. We spend time outside on summer nights by the fire pit or sledding on winter days.

I’m searching for someone to become my living donor. I was advised by my doctors to try to find as many potential matches as possible. I am asking this of both friends and strangers. Living donor transplants generally have better outcomes, and can be arranged at a time convenient for both parties. No waiting and wondering while my body continues to weaken.

I need a living donor with blood type O.
