Congratulations  and Hello to you. Are you considering a transplant or able to go on the list? I'm chipping away at the qualifications that the U.S. requires in order to be listed. LOVE, VERA

I have heard that Salford Health Trust are piloting a NXstage trial at Salford Hope Hospital.

Hi all thanks for the replys have got a start date of 13 dec someone from kimal is coming out to train me and the nurse from the hospital at the same time, could be fun lol. Am realy excited and cant wait to start, am hoping to get back on the transplant list early next year been off it since 2007 since complications from doing PD dialysis had to have major op because of sclorosing peritinitus (not sure of spelling) ended up with huge open wound on stomach had to have a vac system on it for months still has an weeping wound now which they are trying to sort before puting back on list also ended up with stoma so been through the mill a bit lol but chin up hopfully thing looking up lol
