From people who came through it

  • โ€œNearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. It was on the kidney transplant list for four years and I couldn't see past it. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. You're not on your own.โ€

  • โ€œTo whoever needs this: I was in the same place a year and a half ago. Anti rejection meds for life, every single day. These days I mostly feel like me. You get yourself back in pieces. One day at a time.โ€

  • โ€œI was in the same place nearly four years ago. The worst part was anti rejection meds for life. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. From someone who gets it.โ€

  • โ€œPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. My nurse specialist has been more useful than the consultant, if you have one ask for their number. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here. God willing it gets easier.โ€
