i've only had one but my heart ❤ goes out to you if you or a loved one is need of a third. Hope you get what you need 🙂
Thank you but fortunately I don't need a third transplant. I was more curious because I have heard different things about options of a third transplant.
I have had three kidney transplants. My first was from my younger brother in 2007. My second was from a cousin who unexpectedly passed away in 2013, and my third was from my oldest daughter in 2019. I have a disease called IGA Nauthruphathy? It can flair up and attack my kidneys at any time. We don't know how to stop it or control it. My doctors say there is no room for another transplant, so this last one needs to last along time.

Wow! That is amazing to hear.
I’ve had 3! My last was at Duke in 2019! Doing amazing btw 😁
I know someone who’s had 3 hearts and they are doing well.
Congratulations! SO awesome to hear people are doing well.
3 hearts! That's rare to hear. I'm glad they are doing well.
Wow. Incredible! I've know a couple of people that have had 2 double lung transplants, but you are the first I've heard that had 3. How has it gone?
Know a couple of people that have had 3 kidney transplants. They're both doing phenomenally well.
This has actually been my best transplant yet! My first 2 lung transplants were done in Chicago where I live.
That is phenomenal! Wow. Glad to read here that you're doing so well with the last one.
