What's a reasonable distance for traveling for a kidney transplant?

@gingerw hi Ginger,
My sister was just listed at Mayo Clinic in PHX and we reside in Los Angeles. Do you recall how long your friend had to get to PHX and did she drive or flew? Thank you.

@mariad1958 It's about 400 miles. Driving may be impacted by weather, or time of day, or if there are co-drivers. A lot may depend on what the transplant team tells your sister. How far away do they want her to be? Once she has information, she can better make decisions. Are there friends or family members who are nearby? Remember, she will need to be there near the transplant center for about 30 days after the transplant procedure.
