Looking for AN Patients who have had an organ transplant
« on: May 30, 2026, 06:59:58 PM »
In addition to being diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma earlier this spring, I have had chronic kidney disease for 38 years.  I just got listed for transplant this month. I need to get the neuroma taken care of before they will transplant.

Are there any patients out there who have had a transplant (preferably kidney, but at this point, I'll talk to ANY transplantee)? I am particularly interested in hearing from people who had AN surgery in the year or so before transplant, but also interested in hearing from people who have gone through surgery post transplant.

Thank you.

Newly diagnosed 2026.  Also listed for kidney transplant. Good thing I enjoy rollercoasters.

Hi Leah,

Great to see you here!  Hoping others chime in.  Also, try doing a "search" here as you may find info there as well.
