A man who missed out on a liver transplant six times was in seventh heaven when his mother was found to be a match and gave her son the gift of life.
Connor Meyrick received 65% of his mother Michelle’s liver during a 12-hour operation at the Royal Free Hospital (RFH) in north London in March. The operation – which was the first live liver transplant to take place at the hospital in five years – has given the 27-year-old a new lust for life, and the pair are recovering at the family home in Swindon, Wiltshire.
Mr Meyrick said: “It feels amazing to be able to plan after so long and I’ve already booked tickets for a gig in Liverpool, seeing the comedian Jimmy Carr, and a trip to Newbury Races. Who knows, I might be able to finally go abroad again in the not too distant future!”
