Kidney transplant
My husband received a kidney transplant from a deceased donor last month. He is doing well. Hopefully it will continue that way.

Psychotic Episodes
Just had a very successful liver transplant 8 weeks ago and am in the very lucky position to feeling better than I have in years. Now everything has settled into a nice routine I just wanted to raise awareness to post op psychotic episodes. I was warned that it is common for post-transplant patients

Just found out I need a kidney transplant
Hello, I just found out I need a kidney transplant. I developed kidney disease from taking a medicine that scarred and damaged my kidneys and they’ve just gotten worse and worse. After a biopsy, we discovered that my kidneys are even worse than the numbers show. I am so overwhelmed. My mom could possibly

Home Oxygen is a game changer
Afternoon all! Mindful that it has been a fair while since my last post - much longer than intended. However, in many ways it's a good thing as it means I've got more to update you all on. First and foremost, I'm still on the lung transplant list and have yet to get another call since being re-added

Elevated creatinine from tacrolimus?
I am 19 months out from my kidney transplant from a deceased donor. Was doing well and my creatinine was actually within the normal range at about a year post transplant. However, since then my creatinine has been creeping up and now is 1.74. Have tried lowering my protein intake, and more hydration

Kidney Transplant help
Hi everyone! Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday. I got a call from a gentleman who’s been trying to test as a living donor for me. Mayo Clinic has approved him. We are so excited, grateful, thankful, humbled and yet nervous at the same time. ****Can anyone tell me what they have experienced

Trying to Maintain Money and Mental Health
My spouse received a kidney transplant in November 2022. He was on dialysis for 18 months and also developed diabetic retinopathy which requires 5 surgeries prior to and after his transplant. He wants to work and going on disability would be terrible for his mental health. We are having trouble financially

New member - Post ET MF (Australia)
I'm 42, married with six children, and I live in Australia. In 2013, I was diagnosed with CAL-R positive ET. I started taking aspirin and managed pretty well. After a spontaneous bleed in my right quadricep, it was discovered that I also had a genetic bleeding disorder, dysfibrinogenemia. After that

I'm now 15 months after my SCT and in my my recent review my figures are improving:WBC 4.0 HB 139 Neut 2.3, lymph1.12 and platelets 106 ( highest for a couple of years). I also had my CD4 lymphocytes measured and can now come off Acyclovir and pentamidine. Hooray! I hated those nebulisers. This leaves

stem cell transplant survival with MF
This link gives some figures for overall survival with or without a transplant. The headline really is the initial mortality close to the transplant is only worth risking if your MF is quite bad. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7218417/

Anyone turn down a stem cell transplant?
I have post ET MF. Currently I'm on Rux and getting monthly cycles of 5 aza. I don't need transfusions. Day to day I feel pretty good and can do most of what I want. The SCT was recommended because of the risk of progression to AML. I'm finding the decision making to get the SCT very difficult. My
