Marylin's Transplant Page: Home

Take your time and read about my experiences. You'll find them by clicking the My Life button to the left. Look through the over 1000 articles in my News section. You'll find information on all facets of organ transplantation, from the need for better organ allocation to problems of living donors. News is added several times per week, so please reload or refresh when you visit. Our site has gone RSS, Really Simple Syndication. You can download a reader or simply click the RSS button in the left column of every page. You will be instantly taken to the latest articles. You can also download a reader there if you like.

Please use the Google search to the left for any information you need on my site.

Many articles in the news pages have been archived. Please check the archives if you don't find what you're looking for.

Try the normal and large links to the left. The size of the text increases dramatically when large is pressed. They work in Fire Fox and Internet Explorer.

I just discovered there were problems with the email link. This has been tested and repaired.

Rather than simply post informative articles, I am considering posting real stories from transplant patients, their caregivers, any one who is interested in posting their personal experiences. You would retain all copyright. If anyone is interested, please let me know.
