Hi Annie, I had my transplant in Phoenix in February. The Transplant team there is wonderful. They had good answers to every question I had during the evaluation. Write down all of your concerns and take the list with you. I learned so much about the transplant process from the team there, and by asking questions I felt I understood the process, risks, and healing process well. So we (my caretaker and I) felt very confident (though still nervous) going into the actual transplant. Good luck to you!

Hi Annie, my daughter had a kidney and pancreas transplant almost 8 weeks ago, at Phoenix campus she wrote down all her concerns, they are so thorough, you speak to all the specialists, the tests cover everything, if ever you want the best it’s the Mayo, it’s scary at first but the outcome for a 2nd chance at life the Mayo transplant team are truly there for you..it’s all very individual the transplant, the healing, living with the caregiver, we tried to cover all bases with back up caregivers, one who just took to follow up labs doctor appointments, one helped with grocery/ water, me, who was hands on at home, but she is doing very well, it’s so individual but she hasn’t had an insulin shot or dialysis since transplant. Of course we are human but having a positive attitude is important and staying close to your Faith, that gave us so much strength..don’t be afraid to ask any question, but from us who have been thru it and 8 weeks of healing, the Mayo is the best. Will keep u in prayer. Marian
