Hi, @phillydawg. I had my transplant, a simultaneous liver and kidney transplant (1 deceased donor, 1 surgery, 2 organs) at age 60. I am approaching my 16th year since transplant and doing well. I have always followed the advice of my transplant team, and continue to follow lab schedule, take my meds as prescribed, and avoid alcohol.

My PCP says that I am healthier now than most of his 60 year old patients.
I transplanted at Mayo in Rochester after being flown out of ICU in Kentucky with acute kidney failure and inactivation from transplant list while waiting for a diagnostic clearance from suspected cancer in bile ducts. Life is good!

I'm here if any questions, or if you just want to chat while waiting. Rosemary
