Just a quick intro.....  I was on dialysis for nearly three years before I received the best gift of all..... My kidney. I am now celebrating just over 30 years of a new life. Transplant going great, have had to find a new professor ( my first one has now retired) .

Will add more info later or feel free anyone to ask questions.

Cheers for now
Theresa Kay

Hi Theresa

I'm a fellow Sydneyite.  Wow, you have done really well with your transplant.  This is a fabulous site with lots of terrific people.  I am sure you are going to love it here.  Good luck with the new neph.  Mine is terrific. I am attached to Royal North Shore but I know there are terrific nephs at both RPA and Westmead as well.  Looking forward to your posts. xx

That is absolutely incredible!! 30 years!! Oh my gosh!! Was that a matched live donation or what? That gives those of us waiting for "the call" some hope that a transplant CAN last for a considerable amount of time. You must be a strong and amazing woman!! Welcome and G'day to a fellow aussie up the road!!!!  :ausflag; :welcomesign;
