Saoirse Perry: ‘I was too sick to be scared about transplant’

Saoirse Perry knew she was close to death before she received a liver transplant last year.

“I think I would have died if I had not got the liver. I don’t like thinking about that side of it,” she said yesterday.

The 22-year-old student from Cabra, Dublin, has cystic fibrosis, which affected her liver. At one stage, she fell into a coma for three days.
