| Hello I had my first transplant in 1986 from a cadaver. It finally quit working, (not rejected) in 2001. I than received a living donor in 2001 and it has been working fine since. It is never a guarantee on how long a transplant will last, be there are plenty of things to help it. Take your meds every 12 hours, plenty of WATER, watch the Sun exposure without sunblock, go to your Dr visits and also if anytime you dont feel right, call your Nephrologists. |
Glad to hear you are doing well. Wonderful advice.
