U of A ceases its transplant program.

We got a letter in the mail today from the University of Arizona Transplant Program. It said they were ceasing their transplant program as of July 10th. The funny thing is, we received this letter on July 17th! Thank God there is another transplant center in Phoenix. Actually, this will probably work out better for us; we hate Tucson. Tucson is a huge pain in the butt to get around, there is only one freeway in that whole town. Tucson is further away from where we live too. I guess we'll get to see just how good the program is at St. Joe's in Phoenix. I'm going to try my best to view this as a positive change.

Hey Pat,

I have a friend (pre-transplant) that recently switched from Tucson to St. Joe's and she loves it!! Her sister had her transplant at St. Joe's and they really liked the cf and transplant teams, which is what motivated my friend to make the switch. So I'm optimistic you will be happy there!! You are doing good trying be positive!

Take care and best of luck my friend!

Autumn

Thank you Autumn! Once again, you come through with positive thoughts & ideas & I really appreciate that. The good news is the U of A will continue post-transplant care. I don't have to find a new coordinator & all that happy crap. Someday I might change to St. Joe's, but for now I'm going to stay where I am. Thank you again, I'll chat with you soon!
