HOW LONG DOES PRIOR CANCER DELAY TRANSPLANT?(click title for full article)

HERE ARE SOME INTERESTING GUIDELINES TO USE AS A STARTING POINT IN DISCUSSING GETTING A TRANSPLANT AFTER BEING TREATED FOR CANCER, AND IN GENERAL HOW LONG DO YOU NEED TO WAIT. THE USE OF IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE DRUGS HAS MANY PATIENTS THINKING THEY ARE NO LONGER CANDIDTES, BUT THAT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. CLICK TITLE TO READ FULL ARTICLE RESEARCHED BY RENAL FELLOWS.

YOU MUST BE GIVEN AN OPTION OF TRANSPLANT

Click title to a link to a disturbing paper I personally know to be true. Too many dialysis patients are never given a clear option of being evaluated for a transplant, particularly minority patients, and patients over 50.
Now sometimes patients start dialysis abruptly. Either something acute occurred and they wound up on dialysis OR they were not referred early enough_which is 1/3 of all patients(but that is another topic!).
Most patients are referred to a nephrologist early and if your doctor has not covered transplant with you(even to explain why it may not be for you)ans they start talking about dialysis-PICK YOURSELF UP AND FIND ANOTHER NEPHROLOGIST.
There-I said it.
Let me also say we have the highest percentage of patients transplanted at The Kidney Group!
