My diagnosis of Kidney failure came after I had been treated - 4 sessions of Chemotherapy and a Bone Marrow Transpant - for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
I have been on In-Center Dialysis for 7 months. I have had 3 surgeries to attempt P.Dialysis, but they were unsuccessful, as the evacuation tube filled with scar tissue. The fluid could be put into
me, but nothing would ever come out.
I have a graft in my upper left arm, but I am not able to stick myself,as I have the "shakes"so badly. At this time,all is stable and my labs are with in tolerance.
This looks like a great website. Congrats to Epoman and all his efforts on our behalf.

Hi Bertman and welcome to our site. I sure hope the bone marrow transplant was successful. When did that take place. I don't stick myself. It isn't a requirement here. Where do you live.?
Hope you find this site educational and entraining.

Thanks to all for the "Welcome" messages.
To: shay_pcb - They could not get the fluid out, until I began In-house dialysis, a couple of days later.
To: Rerun - So far the BMT has been successful, only time will tell. I am Carolina Blue from Charlotte NC.
Again, thanks for the welcoming messages.
