@cehunt57, I think can understand your frustration of being referred over and over to the living donor toolkit. I ask you to keep in mind that on Mayo Connect, we are not medical professionals and we do not have the authority or even the knowledge to give you specific answers that you are seeking. I encourage you to talk to your transplant team at Mayo. They are fabulous people.
Keep in mind, too, that each patient is unique, and each patient has individual needs that can only be address by your own transplant team. Sometimes the answers are not what we want to hear - from my own personal experience. It is okay to engage in conversation, ask questions, get answers from them.
I wish you a successful journey.

@cehunt57, Well your story does sound very frustrating. I recommend choosing a transplant center, obtaining their information personally (in person or via phone) from the staff, and sticking with that. If you have met with a transplant team I would think they would walk you through the process. Now I'm saying that and I'm a year or two out from getting a kidney transplant so this is simply a recommendation. Best of luck, and most importantly, DON'T GIVE UP!
