Frederick Bender posted a blog post"All You" Article from July 2004
Frederick couldn’t believe what he was seeing. On his computer screen was an e-mail from Stephanie, an old friend from high school in Greenbelt. “I thought she was dead”, explains Frederick, 42, who has known Stephanie since the fifth grade. The two had lost contact with each other after high school graduation, then, during college, he had heard a rumor that Stephanie had died from kidney problems. Stephanie, very much alive, had written Frederick about a class reunion he was organizing. “I had…See More

I would like to meet someone to co-author or ghostwrite a book expanding on the short story about my Wife and me [see my latest Blog] to raise Organ Donor Awareness and the National Kidney Foundation's Transplant Games.
About how I found Stephanie after 20 years and how I came to give her a kidney. (This November 7th, 2010 will be 10 years that I gave Stephanie a kidney)
A portion of the profits of the sale of the book will go to the National Kidney Foundation.
I have an outline and several chapters written; however I need someone to bring it all together into a novel.

"OMG! Lili that was great, I enjoyed that so much and laughed so hard. Thanks so much for sharing and posting that."
David Goodman commented on TransplantCafe.com's group Team Prograf"Dottie,
If your doc write BS/BS and specifies that you need prograf, not a generic med, they will back down. It's up to a doc to decide. All generic meds aren't the same as the name brand. At MGH they prefer prograf, although they said…"
Carlos commented on TransplantCafe.com's group Team Prograf"Hi Dottie, congratulations on your transplant. I have 10 years on my new liver this month. You have a new organ for only a few years. I would suggest you keep a spreadsheet of your labs as far back as you can so you can notice any…"

So far no problems with lungs but I have gained 50 lbs since transplant. Finally they lowered prednisone this week to 2 1/2 mg once a day. I have had some kidney damage they are…"
Jan Ward commented on TransplantCafe.com's group Team Prograf"Hi Dottie:
Welcome from me as well. I'm three plus years out...I was on the prograf (as much as 30 mg a day) and others including immuran (as much as 150 a day) and prednisone for the first year or so...I'm now down to simply 1mg x 2…"
Laura posted a discussionHere we go again....and again!
So I had my first liver tx in 2005 (living donor) and had bile duct issues. I had a 2nd tx March 16th and have bile duct problems yet again and now I'm faced with needing a 3rd tx. Has anyone out there had 3 transplants? I've been stuck in hospital since March and the doctors want to send me home...even though I still require IV antibiotics and a VACC system. My family and I are quite nervous.
Bobbiejo Winfrey replied to Allie's discussion Hey! Could you help me! in the group Liver Transplants"Dear Allie,
I wanted to help as well, but I am no longer under 18. I do hope though that your project goes well and proves to be informative for you and those to whom you show it. If you do not mind me asking, are you graduating as an undergrad or…"
Bobbiejo Winfrey commented on TransplantCafe.com's group Team Prograf"Welcome Dottie! I had thought I would have been on more immunosuppressant than I am as I received six organs in my transplant, but I only take 2mg Prograf twice daily without a steroid. I was on the steroid Medrol in the very beginning but the…"
Matt Lawson commented on TransplantCafe.com's group Team Prograf"Hi Dottie - I'm a full, no-living-donor transplantee....I never heard of the bone marrow option....but then again I have heard someone who went to Taiwan for a liver and is on no meds and doing fine after 6 years. Whilst it might be feasible,…"
