They told my Ma if she didn't get a new kidney within 5 years of starting dialysis that she'd be dead by then. My Ma was on dialysis for 25 years. After 10 years had passed they told her she had too many anti-bodies in her blood that she's never get a transplant. After 25yrs of dialysis my Ma got a transplant. 3 years later they decided to give her a new anti-rejection drug which, you guessed it, made her body reject the new kidney and she died. Let the docs stitch you up -
- it's what they are good at - but don't take anything they say about the future at face value man because in the long run it's all conjecture and assumption and they try to err on the side of caution - meaning they'll always be looking at the worst possible scenarios.
PKD is a sukey MO-FO!!! A former colleague of mine has it as well as his son. For all kinds of amazing reasons, he was matched with a living donor and had a transplant. I know this is a dark evil meanie disease that you are stuck with but hopefully, over time, the network of both cadaver and living organ donations is improved (for all organs) with technology and educating the public via social media.
Damn, i would switch places with you in a second. Ive done NOTHING with my life in the 20 years ive had. Im perfectly healthy, and i will most likely never HAVE a disease due to my immune system. But you, your a defranco, your PHILS FATHER. You need to be around, and so does he. I would do it for you. Both of you.
Hi, I have donated part of my liver once before to my aunts ex-husband but happy to see if i can donate my kidney to you... I am bot looking for publicity, money or any of those obnoxiously horrible reasons people have. My Twitter is @LanceSeidman or priv msg me. Worth a shot to see if I can help.
my mom has worked in Dialysis for 20 years. I cant imagine how her patients do this and i wish you the best of luck. I hope you get a transplant papa defranco!
I really hope everything works out for you, I know it might not mean much but I'll be praying. Keep laughing, it's the best medicine if you ever feel down :) lots of love xx
My grandpa is going through a lot of kidney issues too, so I know how hard this is. I am really going to pray for you and your family. I'm hoping that things will get better for you.
We're here for you PaPa Defranco. I have liver problems so I know how hard that kind of waiting is but it's like you said it is what it is. You take it one step at a time, stay positive, and know that you've got people behind you that care :)
i hope things go smoothly for you. Keep your chin up as much as possible. I find strength in believing. Whether its a higher power or just believing in yourself...staying positive and trying to find happiness cleanses the mind and allows the body to heal.
Aw man that sounds pretty tough. Really hope it works out somehow...that you do get a Kidney from someone some time soon...you seem like an awesome person, I really hope it works out for you.
My grandpa had kidney problems like you. Luckily he was given a new kidney, and I have hope you will to. I will pray for you and send my best wishes to you. Try your best to stay strong. Much love pa pa DeFranco (:
Glad to hear that your surgery went well. Best of luck to you on your dialysis and hopefully they can find you a kidney that will work for you. Stay strong!
I really hope everything goes well. It really sucks that you (and many others) have to go through this. Hopefully time is on your side, and you get the kidney you need. No way to tell if time is or is not on your side though, so just be positive and enjoy life, especially since it's hard to tell how much longer you can actually do that. Best of luck to you.
My grandpa has been on dialysis for more than a year along with MANY other health problems. He takes nnitroglycerin for his heart like there advil and has almost died several times. He's been on his death bed for years, so if he can keep ticking with his medical problems I'm sure you can beat yours. Also he's been a bastard all his life and deserves everything that's wrong with him.
All the best the British nation is praying for you
