If you crashed into dialysis, how long before you heard about different modalities?

Did anyone feel like they received good education about the different options before starting dialysis?

I'm excited to see all the social media videos and posts being shared today 😊

Our friend and fellow community manager, Alex was recently blessed with the ♻️ Gift of Life ✅️ that he'd been waiting for since ages. He's an inspiration to us all, and an amazing (now) 2-time 🧡 kidney 🧡 warrior. Alex managed to stay positive throughout the grueling waiting period while on nasty dialysis. I wonder why his infectious smile is more prominent since 5 days ago. 🤔😊 . Alex was transplanted at NYU Langone in New York city.

Please send Alex and his loved ones lots of love, best wishes, positive vibes, and prayers for smooth and complete healing.🙏

#OrganDonation + #Transplantation = #Miracles 💯 (like Alex)

The transplant lasted 11 years (2008-2019) and I've been back on dialysis ever since. Started back in center and since 2020 I've been doing home hemo. While on dialysis I've also been waiting for a new kidney.

Since my teen years I've been a big advocate for kidney patients specially for the latino/ hispanic community. I also love working with patients doing the transition from pediatrics to adult or just younger patients that need someone to talk to.

I have a full time life, a husband, my own home, 4 pets and I love to travel! If I'm able to do all this I'm sure others can too.

I'm looking forward to sharing my experience with anyone who needs it, please feel free to write to me at any moment.

I had to remind others that my diagnosis doesn't define me,

How did you hold on to who you are after tarting dialysis

Tim made history by receiving a genetically modified pig kidney that worked for nine months. He’s now back on dialysis and waiting for a human kidney, but his willingness to step forward and move science ahead has already made a huge impact on the transplant community.

We talked openly about hope, resilience, and what it means to keep going when the journey isn’t easy. It was honest, emotional, and incredibly meaningful — and a powerful reminder of why sharing patient stories matters so much.

I’m really grateful to Tim for trusting me with his story and for everything he continues to do for future transplant recipients.

I’ll add the episode link here — I hope you’ll take a listen. The episode is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you usually listen to podcasts.
