So far we only went to one informational training session about dialysis. Hubby is a retired dentist, so knows how to find good research from reliable sources. I just feel that he is waiting for some sign before making a decision.

@jprust One thing my nephrologist was asking me each time we met, was to find out if I had any nausea or vomiting. Apparently this is a sign of the kidneys starting to fail even more, as toxins back up in our system. I must have a cast iron stomach., as these never happened. I do know that since starting the peritoneal dialysis, I feel better, and I am of the opinion it is cleaning my blood to a point that is allowing my chemo medications for multiple myeloma to work better.
