Great news. Got a letter from the Consultant Nephrologist advising that I am fit to proceed to further evaluation although I should lose some weight and come off HRT before being a donor. The former I am working on! The latter will be fine over the short term and who knows maybe wont need to go back on it. He is still waiting the results of other blood tests but they should present no problems.

Thanks very much for setting up this blog and for sharing your thoughts. Being assessed can be confusing-like trying to play a game without knowing the rules. One reason is that the transplant teams themselves usually have very little experience of altruistic donation and are feeling their way. They are likely to be concerned to avoid any possible problems and a bit wary of the donor’s motivation. I found the process rather slow and frustrating at times depite having an excellent transplant coordinator and being medical myself. My own story is on the kidney federation website. I would be very happy if anyone wants to contact me on oneisplenty@gmail.com
