We finished meeting with the last two doctors and evaluation meetings for Mark's transplant. The last two meetings were educational as well. From the viewpoint of Dr. Hamawi and the surgeon so far everything from the tests look well. We will officially know if Mark is on the transplant list next Tuesday. The whole transplant will meet then, review the tests, and then give us a call to let us know. As we were in our last meeting of the day, the doctor was asking the normal doctor questions, when out of the blue he asked Mark if he ate or eats rabbit on a regular basis. How random, but I guess the immunosuppresents he will be on is made partly with rabbit blood and eating rabbit will interfere with the effectiveness of the drug.
Only a few more days of waiting. Then a little more waiting until Mark will finally have a new kidney.
We met another person who has FSGS at the Mayo clinic. He said he received his transplant back in the end of December. He has had a rough couple of months, with a case of pancreatitis. He was doing much better, and it was nice to meet someone who was diagnosed with FSGS.
