NKF question (recipient related)
« on: July 25, 2012, 10:54:20 PM »
Did you think your transplant evaluation process was too long?

For a special project, the National Kidney Foundation would like to talk to patients who have undergone (or are in the process of undergoing) a kidney transplant evaluation that took over 6 months.

Did you wish the process was quicker? How was your health during the process? What would have made the wait easier?

If you waited over 6 months to be added to the kidney transplant waiting list, and you would like to share your story, please contact Ellie Schlam at ellies@kidney.org

Thanks for posting.  It makes me sick to think it took 8 months to get listed at the first center and two weeks at Wake Forest.
