Ken's Story
Hi Everyone,
I have been retired now for a few years due to several health problems. In 1990 I was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease or PKD (my mother and brother both passed away with this). The only problem that I had for awhile was high blood pressure. In 2006 I was admitted to the hospital twice within 2 months for severe constipation. On the 2nd visit they discovered that my colon was enlarged and wasn't functioning so they removed most of my colon and appendix (I guess they decided to give me a 2 for 1 deal) and now I have an Ileostomy. Then in 2007 I was being evaluated to see if I could be put on the kidney transplant list. On one of my test, my PSA came back slightly high and was to...Expand for more
ld that I had stage 1 of Prostate Cancer. I feel VERY fortunate that they had discovered this early. I did 8 weeks of radiation therapy. I have been cancer free for over 2 1/2 years now. After 2 years if I cancer free, I can be put on the kidney transplant list. I am on dialysis 3 days a week since February of 2008.
Thought that I would let you all know what has been going on.

As of 7-16-10, I have finally been put on the kidney transplant list. YEA!!!!!!! They said it would be a 1-2 year wait but that's ok. At least I'm on the transplant list. I'll keep you all posted.
Later, Ken
P.S. I was thrilled to hear that they found Larry and he was alright. Prayers do help!!!
