I'm sorry to hear this also. But don't ever give up, where there is life there is hope. And Andy's advice sounds pretty good, it all depends on how much trust you have in our medical research. Good luck to you, and I hope it doesn't take as long as the summer of 2013.

What I would like to know is if my lead I gave you to a real research study is going to pay off for you.


I am so against organ donorship mostly because of some of the illegal crap and the black market that has grown from it. Likewise with Stem Cell derived organs there is no rejection. It is your DNA and not that of another person. Post Surgery survival is SO MUCH HIGHER TOO!

I am baffled why the FDA has been so against this research! Seriously folks, I feel America is run by circus chimps.

My dear friend who was going to donate a kidney failed the health exams. Nothing serious but you have to pass 100% to donate.

I will continue just surviving and getting ready for a life until I receive a kidney.

She still has my undying gratitude for trying as well...


You are added to my prayer list. God bless you, Friend.

I don't know, it seems they are only working on a "replacement" for the chemo cocktail and still using transplanted kidneys.

I hear you on the black market. People in phillipines get, I think, $100 for one of their kidneys. A very paltry sum to the donor!


You are added to my prayer list. God bless you, Friend.


Thank you very much. I'll put the cat out tonight!
