Title: Introduction
Post by: rdperez on May 20, 2009, 11:20:40 AM

Hi.  I would like to introduce myself.  Am rdperez and am a kidney transplant patient.  I donated a kidney to my younger brother who has since passed away.  I lost my other kidney to cancer.  Am also a two time cancer survivor.  I am here to offer my support to anyone.  I've been there, done that, so I know what your feeling.

Great story. You can get through anything. Are you listed for a kidney? If you donate a kidney and then need a kidney in the future, do you get moved to the top of the list? I hope so.

I am glad that you joined the group. :grouphug;

Great to have you here, rdperez!  This is just the place to be for anyone facing the renal challenge.  And donors are heroes and angels in this place.
I too have had my bout with cancer, resulting in a mastectomy - December will be 16 years.  So we are SURVIVORS!
Maybe I didn't read properly, but have you had the transplant already?
Let us know how you are doing.  You are part of the IHD family now. :grouphug;
