This morning learned my adult daughter needs to go onto the kidney transplant list. Lots of hurdles since none of us are vaccinated.

Both my daughter and I share the same blood type (A neg) and my wife is a universal donor.

Lots of problems: wife has health issues and I am three years into advanced prostate cancer (am high risk but been stable). I will be talking with my MO next month at my next appointment and next 6-month Lupron injection.

Appreciate all the love you can share as well as any suggestions for us both positive and negative. I want to learn all I can so we can gather the tools to deal with this.

I hesitate bothering you all with my problems, but decided to create this thread before I could talk myself out of it.

Thanks for listening ...

Posting here is one way of dealing with the stress, trust me, I know. One way or another, this crew has your back.

I'm pulling for a positive outcome and the best medical care for your daughter AND you.

She’s in my prayers. And you are too.

Totally agree and well said.

Prayers for you all!

Prayers inbound.

I'm sorry to hear this OD! My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I hope you can find a good solution.

I have a daughter with only one kidney, so I am hanging on to mine as a spare.

We're both A-

But, knowing that has been a thought holding place in the back of my mind for over 30 years.

You have my prayers that you can get it done without hassles.

Praying for a suitable donor, a smooth surgery, and a speedy recovery.

Will pray for a matching donor to be provided at the perfect time for your needs, and for grace, faith, and perseverance for your journey. May you both come out of this stronger in faith and body.

Prayer sent for all of you.

Thank you all so much for your thoughts, blessings, love and prayers. I means a lot to me.

I am glad especially now that she had moved back home with us with her new remote job. Easier to give her support rather being a few hundred miles away from us.

Hoping since we both have the same blood type I can be a donor. Will know more with time and appointments.

Thanks again to all of you !

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Please reach out anytime, you have my phone number and email.

Oh man, wish I had a wealth of great ideas to share. All I can do is send positive thoughts and best wishes.

Yours sounds like when it rains, it pours story. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Thanks David ... will do.

Rey, yeah, we also have a disabled* older daughter with us ... when it rains it does pour, on the positive side I live in the Pacific Northwest.

*Gross/fine motor, AA degree accounting, can not drive or ride a bicycle nor get a job. Cooks and able to care for self. Will get my retirement when I am gone.

Our glass is always more than half full.

The tough part is having spent the last 50+ years in volunteer search/rescue, Coast Guard and career as a LEO. Never gave much thought nor prepared myself to be on the other side of the coin.

Prayers sent for all of you.

Prayers for all your family.

I have worked in the solid organ transplant world as a clinician for years (Donor Side). If you have any questions you want real "un-sugarcoated" answers to I would be happy to talk. My email is in my profile.

Best wishes for you both.

Prayers for you and your family.
