Kidney Transplant. Is it for me?
Yesterday we went to Albany(NY) to a seminar about the kidney transplant organization. There is a lot to consider about this process. There are many pluses and minuses to really think about. The amounts of medication you have to take for the rest of your life are staggering. This is a huge decision that will require much thought before that decision is reached. My next appointment with my doctor will be filled with talk about this process because I have questions for him and only him. I say this because he knows my kidneys and knows how my body adapts to treatment better than anyone else. I need his input, his expertise in this area. I know a new kidney won't make me 18 again. I know it won't make me 30 again. What I don't know is what will change. What will improve and how much improvement can be expected. Will the pro's outweigh the con's? That's the real question.
