Hi everyone,
So I recently had my transplant eval. I would say it went ok. As many of you know whoever has read my intro I had a transplant from my dad back in 09. It failed a year later because my original disease FSGS came back an attacked it. The doctors caught the early signs 3 weeks after the transplant so I had to undego plasmaphereisis. Im allergic to pplasma so they ended up using albumin instead.
The doctor explained to me saying if youe first kidney got rejected because of your original disease its likely that it coukd happen again so we will do the best we can by doing plasmaphereisis again to make sure it doesnt get rejected but it could come back anytime. Also ive had many many blood transfusions which isnt helping my case.
They were asking alot if my other f family members could donate i straight up told them no. I felt extremely guilty after my dads donated kindey failed and the fact that theres a big chance it could fail again I didnt want to take the risk. My dad still tells me to this day "it saved your life for a year thats all i care about". Which really touches my heart.
I just have to get a dental clearance and I should be able to get on the list.
