Again, thankyou.What is the distinction between "having a few cysts" and the diagnosis of PLD? The number of cysts?How fortunate one son was clear for your transplant. How fortunate you are to have three.

Good Morning Abby,
My children have been an amazing support to me during this journey. My oldest son has a an amount of cysts they can count. I think its 3-4. He was not given a diagnosis of PLD. PLD typically is diagnosed when they use the term "innumerable" meaning there are so many they just don't really count them. However, they identify and measure the largest of them and watch them for growth and changes. Have you been diagnosed with PLD?
Thank you for the discussion, it helps to talk things through with others.
