I have 3 kids and a beautiful wife. She does things only girlfriends do so I guess it's worth living on dialysis. I had my right kidney removed and 1/4th of my left kidney removed because of cancer. I have just started PD and it sucks. All that said I love the joys of life such as my children, Boxing, MMA, and of course the Laker's

Hi, Canyon,
And welcome to a great community.

It is a good place to come for answers, to rant, or just have some fun.

Welcome to our community!  Are you from the Grand Canyon area?  I saw part of it when I was going to our IHD reunion last October.  If you are in the area, maybe you can join up!
This is a wonderful place for information, support and even fun.  Here you can feel free to rant, rage, rave or vent whenever you want to.  You see, this is much more than just a website - it is a family  :grouphug; caring and sharing.  So read as much as you can, and post as much as you can.

CL first of all the "Kings" rock! 

Second, it sounds like you have a lot of reasons to learn all about dialysis and your different options.

Stick with this site and learn the truth.
