My brother passed away Wednesday night. He had been on hemo for a little over 12 years. PKD has now taken all of my immediate family.
My city is having a PKD walk tomorrow that I had put a goup together to walk in, instead of walking I will be attending his funeral.

 I am so sorry. My family is pretty well ridden with PKD including my daughter. What an insidious disease. My heart goes out to you. Aleta

You've brought tears to my eyes. Its bad enough PKD takes some of our family members but everyone in your immediate family? That must be very difficult to deal with.
My thoughts are with you.

I have Alport's Syndrome. My kidneys failed when I was 14 and I was on PD for five years before receiving a kidney transplant from my mother. That kidney failed in 2004 and I've been back on PD ever since. I am undergoing treatment for my high antibodies at Cedars-Sinai medical center. I had a kidney transplant on June 10, 2008. My boyfriend was the donor.
