I had worked on securing my flight whil I was having my possible donors screened. I had 11 people sign in and only one made it to be checked at the Mayo. Then was turned down at the last test. If you are able make contact now and they understand what your up against. You might or might not have to use them. I wish the best. I will help with information and prayers.

@IWantToBelieve, At your mention of upcoming iothalamate test, I am assuming that you are referring to the renal clearance test. I had my annual evaluation this past week, and that is a routing test for us post transplant patients to stay ahead of any changes that might crop up along the way. Well, I had to laugh as the nurse began to explain the "new" ultrasound device that she would be using - because, last year, I was asked if I would agree to be a test patient while the representative was training the nurses in the 'new' device! It was really neat because I got to be part of the current 'state of the art' equipment. I told the nurse that she was a good learner!
Keep on looking ahead and keep on taking good care of yourself.

@jerrydrennan Thanks for your prayers! I will pursue this once I'm officially on the transplant list. My GFR is 20 now but I get an iothalamate test next month to get an exact reading because my nephrologist thinks it will go up to 21 or 22 once I'm off the study med so hopefully I have a little longer.
