I recieved a Kidney, Pancreas transplant in April of 2004. This transplant came after being a diabetic for 16 years. Both organs are functioning well without complications.

my daughter's wish is to have the double transplant but doesn't have secondary insurance to allow it.. She was turned down by N.Y Presbyterian because of funds.. Hopefully a miracle will happen....
