newbie:
Am thinking about donating a kidney to my father who is 89 yrs old & in good health (other than his stage 4 kidney disease). I'm a 57 yr divorced smoker w/no kids & some dental issues.
On the surface, a donation seems to make sense.
Am aware initially that blood types need to match and a thorough head to toe physical in addition to my psychological makeup needs to be assessed.
Anyone been were i,m at or know of someone who has been?
Thanks for any insight/opinions/sharing.
Hope to hear from you soon.
