I currently am undergoing evaluation for a kidney transplant a major transplantation center, Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine. I passed the first stage by the transplant committee. I am wondering about how patients who have received a kidney transplant deal with transportation to their center

I am now 24 years out from my kidney transplant. I remember it as if it were yesterday! Getting the "call" at 2:30 AM and having to be at transplant center by 5:30...and then not taken to surgery till 3:00 PM. Had a lot of time to "stress out". Picture is of me hiking in Arches National Park in September

new transplant
I am new to this sight. Just want to say I am feeling incredibly grateful for my kidney transplant that occurred on Oct 4. My daughter was my donor and we were both released 2 days later. I was the first robot assisted kidney transplant at Mayo Clinic. I have to say it was fantastic. I have about a 2

Nasty cough with shortness of breath , Local GP suspected chest infection, prescribed antibiotics and chest x ray, this picked up a issue so had chest CT scan. 12th August. Suspected lung cancer to right upper lobe .!! Early staging suggests T3/N2/M0 this now May have been a bit premature as Bronchoscopy

Likelihood of liver transplantation
Hello everyone, hoping you can provide your experience and knowledge to help guide us. Our dad (57) has been a heavy drinker for the past 25 years, was always in denial and refused any help until he became hospitalised at the start of this year. He had developed severe ascites requiring drainage, has

post lung transplant
I have recently been accepted on the
lung
transplant
list (November). I would value any advise/experience on the subject. I apparently have a very good blood group thus estimated waiting 50% 6 months, 80% 12 months. Thank you in advance Paul.

Kidney transplant
Hi Everyone, I just joined. My kidneys are at 10-12 EGFR and I am striving to find a living donor. I have some resources to do so, but I am wondering what others have done to search for a living donor. I also wonder what others in this situation have done for transportation to a major transplant

Stem cell transplant
I just wanted to let everyone know that I made my decision and I’m going through with a SCT. I have been seeing a transplant doctor at Dana Farber in Boston for about a year and he feels I’m strong enough now to have one. Now we have to find a donor and I have to start making preparations. We are shooting

Finally, weaning off prednisone after 15 years.
I have not posted in a while. About 5 years ago my blood pressure went up (180/110). I was put on over 10 different blood pressure meds. Nothing took it down. Last November I was diagnosed, via kidney biopsy, with something called MGRS (monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance). The illness

I’m still here :)
it’s been a while and my last post was not very positive . This is a quick update . I’m still unclear as to how I got here with my illness but I received palliative chemotherapy six cylcles one every three weeks. I think it was a variation of chop plus an immunotherapy drug beginning with B . The treatment

Hi everyone , I am so glad with this site. My name is Anja, 67 years old , and I live in the Netherlands. I was diagnosed with CLL in september 2010. In 2012 I got FCR for six rounds. After that I was stuffy and it occurred that I had heart failure because of the chemo therapy. It took me years

Richter's and Novel Treatments/Combinations
We've had a few members post about Richter's recently so I thought it might be time for a bit of an update on new treatments. In these reports there is not a lot of information about clonality and which mutations the patients have. Extensive pretesting for these variables as well as the clinical ones

Diagnosed with Richters
My history is a CLL diagnosis around Sept of 2016. I started the Ibrutinib/Venetoclax trial at MDA in Jan 2017 achieving MRD U in April 2019. Clear sailing until April ‘22 when my blood test showed .07 CLL cells that doubled every 6 months. Showing no symptoms, my Doc did not recommend treatment.
