Personally I prefer to avoid the cramping if possible. How long have you been on dialysis? Congrats on being put on the list by the way. I see a lot of patients who aren't able or willing to put in the effort to do it. I think it would be really cool if Reddit found you a kidney. It's a bold strategy.

Around 6 months ago I started working as a tech at a dialysis clinic. I already have close relationships with many of my patients. I kinda have my favorites. What is your relationship with your techs and nurses from the other side of the chair? What advice can you give me on being a better tech?

Chemo is the worst thing I've ever done. You are literally being poisoned on purpose. I don't think I would have made it without the support of my family, friends, and all the awesome staff at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. I would say if you have a chance to recover then it's definitely worth it. If it's just to maybe but you a few more months, then those months will be the most miserable thing I can imagine. Get your affairs taken care of and get out. That's my opinion.

Ya, I generally try to double check with the patient that they are ok with the amount i'm pulling. IMO if you are a patient with a tech who doesn't know you very well, then i would double check with them what they plan to pull.

If you get a lot of interest in this AMA, perhaps you should post a link to that fundraiser at the top? That's something I would be interested in.
Edit: also maybe some info on how/where people can donate kidneys
