[QUOTE="TopoGigi, post: 1380738, member: 38211"] I understand, I'm under the care of West London Renal Transplant Centre so that's Imperial College (St Mary's, Hammersmith, Charing Cross) and they too have been marvellous over the years and still are, they look after you totally. The first couple of years were really tough, yes you are going to be susceptible to catching everything and anything, but that goes with the territory, the immunosuppression will be the same whether you have a Kidney, or Pancreas or both, be prepared for the unexpected but on the other hand you may sail through it with no problems it's a bit of luck of the draw, positivity helps. I try to avoid situations where people are not well but that's not always possible, such as hospital visits, I frequently wash my hands but also travel on public transport, I've got to live my life. I have a few friends that have had a SPK , my friend Jo is 19 years out and doing well, she owns and runs a dog breeding a training kennels in Wiltshire and we meet and support each other frequently. Is it possible to talk to other patients at Guys or just use FB to join one of these groups, they've been a great help to me over the years, it's a way of sharing our thoughts.... [/QUOTE]
