Post by: flatxlander on November 20, 2007, 08:34:42 PM

New to the forum, but have been on hemo for 4 plus years. I have survived having life-sites, tunnel caths, and currently have a AV fistula that keeps me alive. I am currently on the transplant list at Mayo, have been for 3 years. They tell me I am getting close to the miracle of getting a new kidney. Thank you for your views on dialysis, even after several years I learn a lot from your posts. There are good days and bad, so hang in there. I have learned one big lession, never accept what a doctor tells you absolutely. Do your own research, learn about your condition and what works best for you.  :thx;
Good luck to all, flatxlander

I agree with you about learning all you can about what the doctors tell you. This site is an important part of gathering that information.
