more good news!!!
  :flower;

The first two of my LD to get tested are both 4 of 6 matches. And as best as I can understand it, I do not have antibodies to either of them. Now we have to decide who goes for the rest of testing, and whoever goes, if they pass will be my donor.   It is all so surreal.  They are both willing to go, and I would just let them decide if they were having reservations about it. but seeing as they dont , and I am in what i perceive as an unusual position. I can sort of choose a kidney.   I am so grateful.

I called my coordinator and she gave me some new things to think about. of course she contradicted what i was thinking. All in all it seems every pro and con is equally matched on each side. I think logically it would be best for me to make the choice based on the amount of antibodies I would be taking on, as I am 27 and am likely to go through this process again.

I am just being cautious and analytical, I would very much like to know what fellow IHD members think. Would be ever so tickled to hear from anyone who has had a similar experience.

I know you posted the same thing before and got some replies- I am just not sure what you need help with? Perhaps you could ask specific questions.
