@kamama94, Oh, I am sorry to hear this. Like you, I want to know as much as possible about my options so I'm sending you added energy for your research in learning more of what to expect. Please keep us informed. Sending cyber hugs your way!
@kamama94 Well, dang it all. Are you able to/have you considered peritoneal dialysis? It is the more preferential way to go, less stressful on your body. But it does require a lot of patient responsibility. My husband was able to do that for 5.5 yrs before his transplant, and it was easier on his body than hemodialysis. He is coming up on his 4 yr transplantiversary on 10/1.
