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 Stephanie
Hold out for the KP txplant! The best thing about it is that you no longer live in fear of those awful complications. For me, that's the best thing. It wasn't getting rid of the injections as I was used to them, (I was on 4 a day when I had my txplant) or the diet, it was the fact that my eye sight wouldn't get worse and I wouldn't have renal failure again. Believe me, you will feel like superwoman when you've had the surgery (and recovered) I don't know how you manage with a 10 month old as i could barely get myself out of bed and dreessed when I was waiting for my txplant. Best of luck with it all. Ask about which anti-rejection drugs you will be on. I'm on Tacrolimus which are very small, odorless and tasteless unlike Cyclosporin, but different drugs suit different folk so maybe you'll prefer different ones to me (not that they give you an option).
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Message me if you want any info.

Hi Stephanie, I was 42 when I had Luke. Everything was ok until about 7 months then my BP wne up and I had to take another tablet. He was delivered by C section 5 weeks early due to my continued high BP (owning your own business doesn;t help your BP!). He weighed 5lbs 4 oz but didn't need special care or incubating and now he's a very lively and healthy almost 3 year old. Are you on the kidney & pancreas txplant list or just kidney?
