Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows about this on a personal level. It has been suggested to me by my consultant as a possibility, I've looked up the general info online but would really like to know something about living with it.
 
Lasts about 3 years, thats about as much as I know. Oh yes,-and hypo unawareness is a thing of the past.

A relative of mine used to do these transplants in Scotland, but has now moved to Malta to set up a tissue bank for the Maltese people.

Was there anything in particular that concerns you?

No, from what I've read it seems great I just wanted to get the personal view and a bit more info about the side effects of the immune-suppressants, which I understand can be pretty awful.
 
Thank you Catherinecherub that link led to another link and just the information I was looking for.
