Looking like pre-dialysis vascular surgery might be sooner rather than later. Any and all info, even negative, will be appreciated, incl details about vascular port, what dialyssis is like during and in between sessions, etc.

@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.
