Hi to all!
i'm cris, has a mother, 78 yrs. old, who recently had her first dialysis. Oooooh, we really are having difficult times on her first stage of dialysis. We are quite a small family, have only one sister, who lives with Mom. Am a contract worker over here in the Northern Mariana Island/close to Guam. Like other filipino families, we are real close that the thing we are going right now is really very hard for us.
How i wish i could have met EPOMAN, wherever he is, his legacy lives on.

 :welcomesign; Chris,

This is a great place for information, questions, concerns and rants. I don't know what I'd do without IHD. The folks here have become my family.

i am a 51 year old male on dialysis for 3 years now. This is my second time. My brother donated a kidney to me about 13 years ago. I found this site on another site. I had to laugh when i saw what it was called. I hope to meet people from all over to talk about dialysis.

Hi Cris..Hafa Adai..I used to live on Guam almost 30 years ago working at KUAM.  I loved the fiesta days when you could walk into anyone's house and have a plate of food.  I can almost just see and taste the pancit now. Yummm. Welcome to the site!
