I have been transplant survivor for 24 years. I had minimal rejection. I started begging to get off prednisone. It worked. I am so empowered in myself how to share with Doctors and PA's they are wonderful people. I swim laps take walks. My meds aren't too bad. Rejection drugs twice a day. God is very good. I lost a bunch of weight. I was born with a hole in my heart. Atrial Ceptal defect. I had a leak in my mitral valve. I was 15 when I had my first open heart surgery. God is very good ❤️

No but my dad did and he was number 50 at temple hospital. It was back in 1986 and it gave him 7 more years. He was only 57 when he passed. They have come a lot further these days and people are living longer and healthier lives after.
