Just got a call from my transplant coordinator and she informed me that I have passed the two years of being considered cancer free (though I think the real 2 year anniversary is November 13th) AND I have passed all the physical tests that deem me healthy enough for a transplant.

Now I just have to convince them that we can find a solution to the prednisone problem............



Oh, one other thing, the final talley so far for The Kidney Walkers is $8230.
Way to go Warriors!!
(We do have time to break $10000)

    Kim - is it prednisone only - or all corticosteroids that cause the problems for you?

    Kim - what is the reason they are refusing the alternative drug protocol that doesn't include prednisone?

    That's great news Kim. I'm also curious about the prednisone.

    "Kim - is it prednisone only - or all corticosteroids that cause the problems for you?"

    Kay, prednisone is the steroid I have knowledge of taking.
    I even have begun to think as someone (I think it was Steve) that it may have cause my kidney failure.

    "Kim - what is the reason they are refusing the alternative drug protocol that doesn't include prednisone?"

    Sal, at this point they have not ouright refused it,rather sidestepped the possibility is maybe a better term. In other4 words they have told me that there are no other alternatives. At my next meeting I am certainly going to bring it up.
