Attention! Transplant recipient friends!
What I post is 💯 truth of what I have been through. But the real story of my KTX journey remains to be told. Each of us are individuals and unique. Medical Science MUST start to understand this.
Focusing on writing a book has been difficult to put all my experiences, emotions, and journey on paper will be a huge undertaking. I need to do this for people suffering from KTX forced treatments and overmedicating, In return this does eventually slowly wreak you or make you severely diabetic. Or cause cancers.
Balance is key in all aspects of life. Especially with very strong medications!!
