@brokendoll and @gingerw I am terrible with acronyms such as MGUS. But it seemed familiar and I thought of you Ginger. Turns out I was right. I’m glad the two of you have connected. The topic of transplant is near and dear to my heart. I am pancreas post transplant, currently pursuing a kidney transplant. My father-in-law was a kidney transplant recipient with one of my daughters being the living donor. My other daughter was attempting to donate to me (2017) but was denied. She is now fighting stage 4 Breast Cancer. Sometimes I get angry and think that if she would have been accepted as a living donor for me her cancer might have been discovered sooner at a lessor and more treatable stage? (Mayo is really thorough!) Now is when I have to remind myself that as a Christian believer I have a promise from God that all things will work together for good. (Bible Romans 8:28) It doesn’t say that everything IS good but that it works together for good. We can’t always see the working and we sure don’t know or understand the timing! The two of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Plus your friend that is in need of a transplant.
