Reassured

I emailed the transplant coordinator at my hospital and she reassured me that 65 was not too old to be a donor. In the case of a matched sibling, they don't really have an age limit. The donor is only limited by other medical issues, such as heart issues, etc. Thanks for your posts on this. It's also reassuring to hear from others in "the fight."
