Living Donor: It's a huge responsibility

My husband had a living kidney donor (neighbor) in 2009 at age of 66 at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. He has been through bladder cancer since and transplanted kidney is still doing great. Getting a healthy living donor can give a dialysis patient many more years of normal life.

@ktaubman, I want to say Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. We are thrilled to hear from you with this powerful message about your husband's living donor experience. I am a firm believer that by sharing our stories, that we are providing hope and encouragement to all current and future donors and recipients. Thank you for joining us and sharing with us.

I am glad to hear that your husband continues to do well with his transplanted kidney. 2009 was indeed a good year: that is the year that I received my transplant, also at Mayo Rochester:-)
