@rosemarya, thank you for the inquiry about my transplant evaluation. I was last at Mayo (Rochester, MN) in October 2019. I am post transplant pancreas (2005 from another transplant center) due to diabetes and have been evaluated at Mayo annually since 2016 for kidney transplant. I’ve been approved, accepted and listed for kidney transplant at Mayo in Rochester. I’ve also been looking for a living kidney donor during this time. Last year my listing was changed to inactive because I was told that I’m “too healthy for a transplant at this time”. Thank God I’m in pretty good shape for the shape I’m in! I’m thankful that I’m not on dialysis or in immediate need of transplant during these times. My local primary doc, endocrinologist and nephrologist are keeping track of me. I’m confident that Mayo will be there if and when more imminent transplant needs arise.

@cehunt57, I just got home from Mayo for my annual evaluation. I have every confidence that Mayo will be there when you need them, just as they were there for me and countless others when we needed them. I love the care I get from Mayo as a post transplant patient. My local doctors care for me and can contact Mayo when /if necessary. I travel to Mayo yearly for my post transplant evaluation.
It sounds like a good thing that your inactivation is due to you doing well enought for now. Your attitude and your patience are admirable as you must surely be taking good care of yourself. That will be to your advantage after trasplant surgery.
@cehunt57, it is so good to hear from you. I hope that as the word about living donation is spread that a donor will be found.

How did you learn that you were inactivated? Will you have to be reevaluated?
