How long do you stay in town after a kidney transplant?
Such great information. @dthoodjr Dr. Douglas and Beverly Hansen are answering you question about what is involved in the testing and evaluation. Do you have additional questions?
Glad to see you've joined the webinar @lcamino.
The cooler on the porch is a great idea for support people to bring food for transplant families. I've also heard of people picking up laundry and bringing it back cleaned and folded. So helpful without being intrusive.
Can you repeat the second fundraising website?
Possible donors are in the process of getting tested for me. How do I know if they are evaluating them for a direct donation to me or a paired exchange? Do they decide or do I have to decide if I go into paired exchange?
After a transplant who adjusts the medicine - local nephrologist or transplant center?
If relocating for transplant at Mayo Clinic, do you transition care back to the home transplant center?
