THE SPORT SCAN – Waiting for a liver for 17 months, Henry Chavancy’s 3-year-old son was able to receive his transplant at the end of September.
Excellent news for Henry Chavancy and his family. This Tuesday evening, France Info informed us via a report that the son of the captain of Racing 92 received his organ donation, more precisely a liver, for which he had been waiting for 17 months. An unbearable situation where Côme, 3 years old, had an 80% necrotic liver which would have cost him his life if the donation had not arrived in time.
In this report, Henry and Magali Chavancy, the child’s parents, expressed their relief following the operation which took place at the end of September. “We were very happy and filled with gratitude for this family who made this very difficult decision. Obviously we will think of them all our lives and we will talk to Côme about them to explain to him how lucky he was.» If the young child has to take medication for the rest of his life, he will still be able to return to school in January.
