Doctor just told me that my kidneys are shutting down. I can't get a full-time job due to my chronic illness, and I earn 1.5k from teaching tuition. I think I can't afford dialysis, what should I do?

I am sorry to read this, good luck

ask your doctor (and than maybe a 2nd opinion other doctor)

what they personally would do in your situation.

with functioning transplant and careful follow up the prognosis as to

later complications seems to be lower with transplantation after

getting well through the immediate postoperative transplant period.

Hi,

I'm so sorry to hear about it. I wouldn't be able to fathom what you have to go thru. My though will be, if you can get donor, try to do what Wee teck says to get into the donor queue ASAP.

Meanwhile, if you can spare more time to go for tuition, go for it so that it can increase your income to save and put it into some good interest / higher interest savings account to save for future expenses and for rainy days as much as possible.

May you find a suitable kidney soon. Whatever happens, don't give up. There's always hope! Jia you!
