Hi folks  - just a quick note to say tomorrow I will be going to the hospital to get the results of the tests I have been doing as the build up to donating my kidney. I must say, I now know how an old jalopy feels went sent off for an MOT - hope I pass muster!!
Your positive thoughts and prayers would be much appreciated. :pray;

Hi everyone,
Just back from the hospital  - all tests good  - so now await the CAT scan. My husband will have three options since we are not a blood match: extraction of his antibodies, swap with another donor,  or cadaver kidney -which ever happens first. It is so good to feel that we are journeying towards a better future - so don't mind how long it takes  - just so long as we keep on track.
Thank you for your support   - a truly inspiring website! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
