My beloved girlfriend was on at-home Perineal dialysis with a cycler for two years. She had other cards stacked against her and at the end was morphined to death while unconscious, but we travelledand had as good a life as could be.
I wouldn’t trade those years for anything. She was the Best. Girl. Ever. She saw it her duty to fight for her life as long as possible. Too bad the hospital didn’t.

If peritoneal dialysis is an option, if the time comes, I'd consider that. But being tied to a dialysis machine is not a life, IMHO.

Condolences for you and your girlfriend. It's great to have had someone like that in your life.
