My husband has been tested to see if I can have one of his as I am rejecting my present one that I have had for 10 years. He is a different blood type to me so they are recommending that we join a group where he offer his to a match and they offer me a match from the partner of the other recipient. I should know next week if he is well enough to go into a group and then the matches are run every three months so it is a bit hit and miss but my hospital did do six matches in the last quarter.

Good luck with your brother.

Oh god i wish i could help i hope my brother is a match i have had quiet a few family and friends come forward i just hope that one is a match. Have they told you how long this will take

They try to match every three months when doing a group match as they try to get as many as possible to give a better chance. The normal wait for a kidney seems to vary but is about 18 months. My sister was a wonderful match for me so I will keep my fingers crossed for you.
