 :bandance;    calls  are  getting  closer  and  closer!!!         today  I  had  an  offer.  Unfortunately  it  was  an  ECD  kidney   it  was one  of the  hardest  decisions  I've  ever  made,  I    turned  it  down.
I  hate   to  be  so  choosy,  but  I  want  a  kidney that  has  less  risks  than  an  ECD  one  will have.

I   :pray;   that  the  right  one  will  come  soon!!!   If  that's  in God's  plan  for  me that  is!!!

Take  care!!

While it's very difficult I think you've made the right choice for you - and you must take heart that you ARE getting offers, and those calls are coming. That's awesome!!!

Marina, I hope you get you call soon, and it's a good one!
You've been on D over 5 years, haven't you?
Did you ever agree to consider a ECD kidney or did they just ask?
Best wishes and good luck!
