@ernestbrandt1980 I have some experience as I received a deceased kidney transplant 4 years ago when I was 76 years old. Everything has gone reasonably well. After the first year of suppressing my immune system, I did get a malignant melanoma which required surgery. It was still very early in situ and had not spread and the surgery was deemed to have gotten it all out. I now get a full body dermatologist exam every 3 months Which is sometimes including a biopsy but so far no more melanoma. I exercise a lot including running, walking, Karate punches and kicks, aerobic jumping jacks and deep squats. I was watching my diet very closely for 10 years before the transplant since I was in ead stage for all 10 years but managed to stay off dialysis. Do you have any specific questions that you would like to ask?
