I have read several good books about the history of transplants. The immunosuppressive drugs were the turning point. No one lived past a very short time before that. They save our lives. I can send you titles if you like.

@linmarie, I would like to send you a belated welcome to Connect.
I see that we have crossed paths on an earlier discussion: Changes after Transplant, where you mentioned your renewed post transplant energy allowed you to read again. Is this when you discovered books about the history of transplant? I would be interested in knowing the titles of some of the books about the history of transplants.

Thank you for offering to share. I want to invite you to share the books you have read in a discussion titled "Books". It would be wonderful to have others share their suggestions for books about transplant, too. Maybe we can start a book club! I am already thrilled to re-discover this older discussion because I had forgotten about it.

Linmarie, How are you getting along since your transplant? Kidney?

Please share the titles when you have a chance.

You might enjoy these videos. I found them fascinating and informative! NOVA episode titled, “Transplanting Hope -https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/video/transplanting-hope/.
It is intense and very emotionally affecting. However, I gained an even stronger appreciation for all of the people who played a role in my “transplant journey.”

The Surgeon’s Cut, Episode 3, Living Donor, is another excellent show, available on Netflix -
https://www.netflix.com/us/title/81004466. It discusses some of the early groundbreaking transplant surgeries and portrays Dr. Nancy Ascher, the first woman to perform a liver transplant. It also follows a family preparing for a living donation from a daughter to her mother.

Yes, please send the titles. I would be very interested. Thank you!
