I know that people who were smoker's that have donated kidneys. At most transplant centers it's the recipient who they say cannot smoke.
They declined him. The only words I can say outloud are bad ones. I haven't heard from the co-ordinator, yet. I've just talked to my brother. He's upset, too. What do ya do...Does anyone know if they will test a living donor who hasn't quit smoking yet? Or will they wait until he has stopped for at least three months to test him? Because my other brother is ready to go, but he didn't quit smoking LIKE I TOLD HIM IN JANUARY! I hate to have to tell him "no", but I don't want to waste another three months.I feel sick.
