What can I expect on dialysis? How does it affect your daily life?
Kidney & Bladder | Last Active: Oct 16, 2022 | Replies (40)Comment receiving replies
Like you, I am awaiting my catheter and will start dialysis immediately after. I am 66, still active, still employed, grandfather to 10 [1 more coming]— and I can’t picture how my life will be on the big D or if there is any life to be had at all. Is there any encouragement out there for someone like me?

@stevewyatt and @miker8888 Like you both, I am close to dialysis, and planning to go for peritoneal. I am also an active cancer patient, doing chemo regimen for multiple myeloma. My last labwork shows an eGFR of 14%. We live in a fairly rural area, and tracking down just how this will work is a challenge. BTW chemo plus dialysis goes easier if I can do peritoneal. My husband found this website by Fresenius Kidney Care. Not affiliated, not a patient, but wow! is there a lot of great information here. I spent a long time just reading! I think you may find some hints and tips to help you along the way. Let me know whst you think, if you will, please?
