Thanks. I'm hoping I won't have to wait THAT long! (average wait at the transplant center I go to is 1.5 years)
GOOD LUCK!! To add insult to injury, or maybe pain to injury, my friend's brother fell off a cliff and died on a Boy Scout outing on the VERY DAY that tests showed he was a match to be a donor for my friend. My friend did dialysis all that time, but is now doing okay.
I'm assuming that they weren't able to harvest your friend's brother's kidneys for your friend? Wow, that really sucks. I'm not yet on dialysis, but my function is low enough that it could happen any week now. I have labs again this week; fingers crossed that they will be stable.
