They said no! But I'm gonna have my doctor refer me to another clinic! I'm not giving up! I went to the clinic who did my last 2 because they know me. I can't help but be ticked off at them for what happened with my last 2. Especially the third one. They should have listened to me! I called them every single day telling them I felt like something was wrong and they didn't listen. There are 2 more transplant clinics in Seattle and another one is Spokane which is abt 5 hrs away. My Nephrologist thinks I'm healthy enough and so do I!

I'm so sorry to hear this. Why did they say no?

Good luck, Krisna! If you can survive everything you've been through and still come back fighting for another shot, you have got to be one of the strongest patients they'll ever come across. I believe in you. Go get 'em! :boxing;

They said no, because they think I'm too high risk. If you ask me they are more worried abt their numbers than anything! Half the time spent at their class was them stressing how good their success rate is!
I'll go out of state for a transplant if I have to! Portland, OR is only abt 3 hrs away! That's actually 2 hrs closer than Spokane, WA. I love my doctor but I'll switch if I have to in order to get another transplant!
I can't handle being on dialysis much longer if I don't have something to look forward to like a transplant! I see my doctor in 8 days.

High risk in what way?
-
If you're that ticked off by them, maybe it is a good thing to go to another tx center! :2thumbsup;

We went out of state for a paired exchange to a center that performed desensitization. Most centers have issues matching repeat transplants. My husband's surgeon was confident there was space for two future kidneys if needed.
