I am a couple of months out from being an altutruistic living donor in a chain. My experience has been remarkable. Everyone at the Phoenix Mayo transplant team has been supportive, helpful, talented and kind. I am healing well and have no restrictions anymore. My next check up will be at the 6 month marker. Someday I hope to hear from whoever received my kidney and how they are doing. Right now I know nothing about them. I also would love to hear about how far the chain reached and the number of people given new opportunity at life.
