Hi, Lisa (@runninglykos).
First of all, I'm glad you "made it" after being so sick.
Yes, the decision as to whether or not to go through the transplant process is daunting. I am older than you and had a kidney transplant one year ago, even though I had more conditions than you can imagine. Because of that, I never thought I would be approved and receive a transplant. But I did, and I'm doing very well.

Ultimately, the decision is yours to make, but I just want to let you know that medical technology is so advanced when it comes to transplants these days. Doctors are having great success even in complicated cases where patients (like me and you) are dealing with multiple conditions.

Hopefully, you can at least consult with a good reputable teaching hospital like Mayo who can assess your situation and address your concerns so that you can make the best informed decision. I stress a good teaching hospital because most smaller rural or regional hospitals do not have the expertise as Mayo and other teaching hospitals have. They are able and willing to take on the more complicated cases and, seemingly, work miracles. I feel like that's what happened in my case. Wishing you all the best!
