CONGRATS KAREN!! I just celebrated my 4 yr. Whoever did the cake covered a lot of subject matter and did a really good job. So have you ever met your donor? I have not, and I never got a reply after writing them. So a happy 5 year and many more to come. I have a few lingering issues after my transplant, but I have been able to deal with them fairly easily. We all wish you good luck.

Mario
