My friend had one of her dad’s kidneys which lasted over 20 years. Eventually it failed so another friend offered to donate his kidney. A couple of days before the op , there were suddenly issues with her antibodies so it was all cancelled. She’s now back on dialysis, waiting for another kidney. She also lost both her parents to cancer and was actually diagnosed with cancer too. It’s been heartbreaking to see her go through so much but she’s the strongest person I’ve ever known.
