 :welcomesign; Eric!  You have found a great place for support and answers.  Nice that you only have to dialyze 2 times a week, but not so good that it costs so much.  Hope you can possibly have a transplant?  I have no idea how that works in the Phillipines (I am in the US), but would think the process would be similar no matter where you live.  Great that you can live with your family and have support if you need it.  Wishing you the best of luck with everything!

Sorry to be late with the Welcome, Eric.  Glad you found IHD.  Lucky that you only have to do 2 times a week.  Hope that continues for you.  I don't mean your lucky, just glad that your'e not doing a bunch more dialysis every week. Sorry!

Again welcome & God Bless,
