Hello,
I was wondering if anyone is able to shed some light on the process of being a living donor. I had just completed the questionnaire a week ago today for my sister, the day she found out she had been approved for a transplant at the Mayo. We have not heard anything other than her receiving a letter confirming she was approved for transplant The email said I would be contacted within 5 days.. I'm assuming I'm just worrying and being impatient since it has only been a week. Just seeing if there was anyone out that that is able to provide some reassurance in the process. There wasn't anything I answered in the health questionnaire that I would thing would not me allow to be tested..at least I had thought so. Amy info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

@marvinjsturing So good to hear you are being fast-tracked for treatment. You have many supporters here standing in the corner, cheering you on!

@marvinjsturing Praying for you, Marvin, that the treatment is effective and you feel well during the process. As @gingerw said we are in your corner and cheering you on!
@marvinjsturing It sounds as if a good plan is in place and that you will be getting started soon. I hope you will keep up with your progress. This reminds me that I need to call my friend and see how her husband is doing with his chemo. She works full time and is pretty occupied so I don't hear as frequently as I wish I could.

@marvinjsturing Hi Marvin,
I just wanted to check in with you to see if you have a plan in place now for radiation treatment?

@hopeful33250 Teresa I had my first treatment today. Because of my CKD, I am not able to do chemo. My treatments are only radiation. At this time, they have me scheduled for 28 treatments (5 days a week). With the coronavirus, they meet you at the door and ask all the travel/how you feeling today questions. If you pass, they give you a yellow sticker to wear.

I'm so glad things are moving fairly quickly for you. Are you going to Avera in Sioux Falls? Many prayers for healing are going up.
Blessings,
