They are seeing if I am able to get a transplant. They took 17 bottles of blood today! The Doc stated that a person that get dialysis lives about 10 years and a transplant about 20 years.
That said he adds that the amun drugs that I have to take for the rest of my life after transplant will cause infections amnd maybe cancer.
So do i die of kidney failure or infection, or cancer?? thats a hell of a choise! I have so much cancer in my family that I might get it any way? so I will go for the transplant if I can get one? worth the risk for a extra 10 years.
I still have a ways to go, as it will be at least 3 months before I will know if my brother can donate, then 3 to 6 more months to do the transplant. So its going to be a tuff 2014 thats for sure.
