* More than 115,000 people in the United States are currently on the waiting list for a lifesaving organ transplant.
* Another name is added to the national transplant waiting list every 12 minutes.
* On average, 18 people die every day from the lack of available organs for transplant.
* Seven percent of people on the waiting list—more than 6,500 each year—die before they are able to receive a transplant.
* One deceased donor can save up to eight lives through organ donation and can save and enhance more than 100 lives through the lifesaving and healing gift of tissue donation.
* Organ recipients are selected based primarily on medical need, location and compatibility.
* To date, 461,776 transplants have occurred in the U.S. since 1988.
* Organs that can be donated after death are the heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, pancreas and small intestines. Tissues include corneas, skin, veins, heart valves, tendons, ligaments and bones.
* The cornea is the most commonly transplanted tissue. More than 40,000 corneal transplants take place each year in the United States.
* A healthy person can become a ‘living donor’ by donating a kidney, or a part of the liver, lung, intestine, blood or bone marrow.

Man...when I first read this post I was saying to myself, "self....you can go to this because its next month"...and then I realized "after the fog lifted" that we are in April now...
I did exercise during treatment, although it was a very hit and miss affair. I tried to let the way I felt dictate what I tried to do, good days I took advantage of. Is the sun helping your rash? It sure helped mine. Hang in there, life gets much better after incivek...Mark
Mark, iwould love to go but it is on Saturday the day after my shot. These past weeks my mental health has. Improved since I have been working in the yard-an hour today and taking 5,000 iu a day of vit d3. I was low for the third time. So, I have also been laying I n the sun-10min on each side. I have been eating red meat everyday for the past few weeks and noticed my anemia isn't as bad as it had been. But with 3 more days of incivek my itching has increased. Did you exercise during tx?
