@marvinjsturing,You and your sister have 2 very good dates for your scheduled evaluations - June 5 is my son's birthday, and June 21 is my wedding anniversary. I hope all will will point in your favor. I know that you have been dedicated to getting to this point ion your transplant journey. If there is anything that I can do to help you prepare or answer any questions or concerns, just let me know and I will try to connect you with another member with experience, or share a link.
I think I remember that you are headed to Rochester. I encourage you ans sister to look into the Gift of Life Transplant House. https://gift-of-life.org/

@rosemarya June 5 is special to me for another reason. It is the anniversary of my Whipple procedure. When we came to Rochester in August for my initial kidney transplant evaluation, we were too busy to stop at Gift of Life. When we came in December for my PET scan for my cancer, my wife and I toured the Gift of Life House. We are hoping they will have a room available for us when I get my transplant. As a donor, are my sister and her husband eligible to stay at the Gift of Life?
