    • About Me

      I am a 46 year old male. I am a 14 year post kidney/pancreas transplant patient. I have a great supportive family. I am retired from a government job. I am enjoying life to the fullest. Life is good, and God is great. I have a second chance at life. I have done some research, and have found that my donor's name was Kelly, she was from Washington state, and she is my angel and hero. I am still active, with church, sports, and support groups. I love to speak, listen, and learn from everyone in life.

    • Close Organ Transplants
      Types: Kidney (Renal)

      I am a 45 year old male. I am a 14 year post kidney/pancreas transplant patient. Life is great, and God is good. After my transplant I did some research, with the help of one of my transplant coordinator's. I found out my donor's name was Kelly, and she was from Washington state. She's my angel and hero. I have had some bumps in the road. But overall, my second chance at life has been great. My diet and exercise is very important to me, my transplant, and overall health.

      Treatments

      Cellcept Working / Worked
      It's been working well with managing my transplant. Timing to take this medication is different from all my other meds.
      Cyclosporine Working / Worked
      This medication prevents me from alot of exposure to sunlight. Has a side afffect of hair growth.
      Kidney Transplant Working / Worked
      I had a kidney/pancreas transplant in March of 1995. The transplant has been sucessful so far. I have some bad days, but work through them. My good days out number the bad. Knowing your limitations, diet and excerise are very important.
