He placed me on Jynarque to slow the progression if the cysts. My great grandmother, grandmother, and mother all passed away with PKD. My kidney function was 53% six years ago. At that time I was diagnosed with rectal cancer and went through chemo and radiation. I was told it wouldn't harm my kidneys. Well, it did. My kidney function went
from 53 to 29%. Since that time, it has stabilized, or so he says, around 28-35%. My function was 35%when I started this medication 5 months ago. My blood pressure is normal 118/78. I do Zumba and strength training 5 days a week. I drink 8 bottles of water a day. I do not eat red meat, but fish and chicken occasionally. I have no ankle swelling, no back pain or other kidney related issues. I weigh 123 pounds and I'm 5'2". As far as a kidney transplant, who would give a 71 year old a transplant??!?
