Face transplant patient dies: https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...abelle-dinoire

Dinoire died in April, Le Figaro revealed, which was confirmed by doctors in Amiens who said they had not previously announced her death to protect her family’s privacy.

Doctors did not reveal the exact cause of death. Le Figaro reported that Dinoire’s body had rejected the transplant last year “and she had lost part of the use of her lips”.

The drugs that she had to take to prevent her body from rejecting the transplant left her vulnerable to cancer and two cancers had developed, the paper said.

well, thanks for the update, but that's too bad.

Hopefully the decade in between the operation and her death was worth it for her. I imagine it was. But my imagining isn't worth much.
