Coming out for the next round.

Hi,After nearly 12 years post-transplant, I'm being reevaluated for another kidney.  I'm having a ton of questions rolling around my mind about it.  I have had a lot of health issues and at 55 am wondering about recovery, qaulity of life, and being worth the effort.  I don't want to "waste" a blessing if I am to succumb to another ailment in the near future.  Anyway , I'm going through the work-up....all day meetings with the transplant team, surgeons, and the like.   Anyone that's been through…See More

Hi I want to share with you what had happened to my brother, he did dialysis for 6 years.
Israel National Transplant Center, told us that we should be in waiting list, and the situation was intolerable, so we began to look for a solution abroad. One of our reviews of visiting the hospital, we met with a transplant recipient abroad was very pleased and gave us a contact phone. From a contact man we had our required information and also got phones numbers of patients who underwent transplantation in the same place and were very satisfied. We met with the contact man and decide to do transplantation, so we flew to the country were satisfied patients underwent a transplant
Everything was well organized by professionals they accompanied us all along with a lot of sensitivity and attention to detail and concern.
My brother pass successfully kidney underwent transplantation. We returned to our country happy.
And I would love to share with you or your friends who need a transplant more details.
Happy to help, please contact me!

Hi Kidneyboy. I'm interested in hearing more about your kidney transplant experience! I'm a psychology grad student looking to learn more about the effects of kidney transplants on the recipients and their families. I want to improve the mental healthcare services recipients and their families are given. Your post caught my eye since you mentioned quality of life.  That is one of the topics I am hoping to learn more about from people just like yourself who have gone through the transplant process. Please feel free to leave me a comment or message if you'd like to share more about your transplant story. Thanks!
