Meet the transplant Doc today, He states that I have to wait for my 6 month colonoscopy to make sure nothing has grown back since they removed the mass I had. If I get a cancer free report we can move on.
The circulation test I had on my legs showed bad flow, that was expected cause of my sugar. so I have to have a scan of my mid section to make sure thats good cause thats were they are putting the new kidney. Then if thats all good I move to the waitting list.
My brother still wants to donate, but they won't test us till I get a all clear, which I going for the colonoscope on the 19th of this month.
Nothing moves fast!!!
Thanks for all your prayers!!

Wishing U the very best....hope ya get that kidney...waiting list is long here in Mass.

Check this site...the donors R all living donors and your wait could be shorter if there is a match.

If U R on medicare check https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments_and_procedures/kidney-transplant

Also U may want to check out the Cleveland Clinic the wait may not be as long. If U get approved at cleveland they send a private jet when they find a kidney. If U go this route check out angel flight its free.
