Did anyone watch the heart transplant programme on BBC?
Hey, everyone. I would really like to watch the documentary about heart transplant that was shown on BBC recently, but I'm a bit scared. I started watching it a few days ago but began freaking out a bit as soon as it began - think I made it literally a few seconds in before panicking and switching

A year and four months out...
Was your transplant from a living donor or a cadaver? I remember getting a call from the Emory Transplant Center at about one o'clock in the morning telling me they had a matching kidney and to get there within four hours. This is my second kidney transplant, the first was from my mother.

Need some help about kidney issues
Just found out they want to do a kidney biopsy on me. I am refusing the biopsy. I know why my kidney are going down hill so fast. It's because of the infusions I am getting. I will not stop the infusions because it's the only thing I have to some kind of pain relief. So the told me that I might need

Can I donate?
Hi everyone. My father started dialysis 2 weeks ago. He is on the waiting list for a kidney transplant. I still would like to ask whether I am able to donate my kidney to him. He says it wouldn't work because we share the same DNA.

Just Had 10th Anniversary
I had my kidney transplant in April 2008. Last month was my 10th birthday for my new kidney. I am doing fine. Most important thing I have found is you need to take all medicines on time and regularly. Follow up with your renal clinic and do what they say.

Wow getting red hair to warn bad news to stay away is certainly working. Saw osteo surgeon again today regarding the initial hip pain and looked at all scan and MRI results.
