You might want to check to see if your community has a kidney support group. I am CKD 4 (eGFR of 27-29). I belong to the Richmond, VA support group. Most of the members are either on dialysis or have had a transplant. Each meeting features a presentation by an expert nephrologist, renal dietician, etc. I belong to keep ahead of the knowledge curve. I lost one kidney to cancer. I've been cancer free for 12 months, but if I lose the other kidney, I'll have no choice but to start dialysis. At age 78, I probably won't seek a transplant.
