Hello my name is Amanda, my husband is Robert he has been on dialysis for 3 yrs previous to this he had a transplant for 14yrs and dilaysis for 8 mos previous to that. Hopefully I will be giving him a kidney we have to retest since we moved but a cpl of yrs ago we tested at UCSF and we were a really good match, but we really aren't in a hurry. We have an 8 yr old son who's really great with this and we try to keep him filled in but he's used to it since Rob's always been sick in one way or another since he was born. Anyways that's us we just try to take things one day at a time and are greatful that things could be worse.

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.
