Hello transplant family!

My name is Cynthia, I am a two time transplant recipient. First transplant at age 23 that lasted 20 years. Received second transplant in 2015 and going strong. I put more details in my profile. I think I just followed everyone, I'm so excited for this app. Nice to meet you!

I Cynthia,

Like you I started dialysis very young and had my first transplant at 18 from my brother and the second one from the list at 30. I have been back on hemodialysis for 7 now. t has never stopped me from doing what i wanted to do and i live a quality life through dialysis and transplant. Thank you for sharing in your profile about you experiences. I am currently in the process of publishing my first literary work on the subject so watch this space.

Take care
