Looking for long term success stories

Posted by glm777 @glm777, 5 days ago

My SIL is 37
Transplant at age 20
Recently had biopsy showing inflammation
12 plasma exchange treatments
Now protein in urine
Waiting for antibody blood work to come back.
He and my DD are in their mid 30’s and just found each other less than 2yrs ago. Please give me some hope that my SIL can live many more years!

@glm777, I feel certain that members will be able to share their post transplant stories here with you, but in the meantime I want to share the following 2 links where stories have been shared since 2020! As for myself, I am living a good life at 16 years after my simultaneous liver and kidney transplant at Mayo Rochester MN.
