Today I spoke with my kidney doctor. Apparently the type of kidney I need is the most rare type to match. I can't say I'm surprised, I haven't gotten one yet and people typically have received them by now. I just wish he would have told me this before. I became very angry at him when he told me this news. How can a doctor just withhold information like that from me? I think I'm entitled to know the whole picture of my treatment outlook. I don't think that's asking too much. He said it could be a decade or more before a kidney would become available for me. I'm in such shock right now. Ten more years of dialysis. I don't know if I can do that.
