Support group in philadelphia area

[Robin]

About a month ago I donated a kidney to my mom in Madison, WI.  (Thank you  to Drs. Sollinger, Mezrich, and Bellingham as well as the entire transplant team!!!!!  You are the best transplant team in the world!). I live in the Philadelphia area and am looking for a support group or would like to form one.  Does anyone know of one around here or interested is helping me start one?

Hi Robin and welcome!

I can not help you with the support group in the Philadelphia area. However, I just had to tell you, I also donated a kindey in Madison, and Dr. Mezrich was my surgeon! Dr. Bellingham was also there while I was in the hospital. I donated to my Husband in October 2009, and I had a great experince there. My coordinator was Chirs - she was wonderful, and I adored Dr. Mezrich!

Congratulations and welcome to the club!
