I am a caregiver to my wonderful husband,  He is 4p and started PD October 2013. We have several living donors waiting to be tested for a transplant. Dialysis is a bridge to get us where we need to go. 
He had a transplant in November 2019.

Great news and many thanks for informing us !
...And please tell us how you both are doing health wise ... I am very interested about it,
because my husband has offered to donate one of his kidneys, but because of our different blood groups,
we also have to rely on a cross match. ..
... My husband donates one of his kidneys to someone else, so that I may receive
a donated kidney from another donor as a better match...
... I very much would like to know how you are doing health wise after having donated one of your kidneys...
... I am very concerned about my husband going through the same procedure ...

Good luck to you both, all the best and thanks from Kristina.
