Description
While he’s healthy now, eventually Brian Martin will need life-saving transplant surgery as cancer continues to manifest in his liver.
“I keep on having these cancerous lesions pop up, and what they do is…. they go ahead and treat it,” Martin said of his current treatment plan until he will need a new liver.
However, a transplant for Martin won’t come at UCHealth after doctors denied him a spot on their liver transplant list earlier this year because of a cutoff age limit of 70, according to his lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court in Colorado.
