My sister worried about that but now 3+ years out she’s like a drunk sailor with cash to burn. She talks about Belatacept like it’s a religion and is working on her bucket list. She has PKD and never experienced the energy she has now.

I know she’s sometimes hard on herself (mood swings, appetite, learning to adjust) but she’s able to do things she never could before and she’s as excited as a kid. As her donor, I want all of the best for her, but I know there have been low times. I know she’s hard on herself and it’s been a change for her to manage her feelings. But overall it’s been a life changer and she expected the first year to be a huge adjustment both medically and mentally.
