I got a TX back-up call

« on: September 13, 2010, 01:47:44 PM »

Hi guys,

how you all doing?

Just wanted to share my good news, today I got another back up call from (Vicky)v transplant hospital.
They said it's a long shot but it could happen. Vicky said this one probably won't happen, but to be ready because it's coming in the very near future.

for me!!!! I'll keep you posted

I believe in long shots!!!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Just to be called is wonderful --- maybe this is the one. Good luck

Thanks Paris and oKarol for your posts.

The TX dr called me a few hours later and wanted to discuss the donor.
He said donor was very young but was a high risk viral donor. I asked him if he meant CMV ir ECD. he if it was MCV he would not be concerned because many of us come in contact with it at some point in our life. He said there was a chance of AIDS or Hep C.
I had to turn it down, when he said that.

Maybe the next one is mine.

Because you were an informed patient, you could make a wise decision. I know that was hard to do, but you want a healthy kidney that will last for decades. Are you doing ok with the decision? Keeping you in my prayers.
