We're going to take it back to the beginning of TGOJ! Cohost Gabi has been on a very long and still ongoing journey with kidney disease & dialysis. In this episode Gabi will discuss her pediatric experience growing up with a chronic illness & transplant so young, the different types of dialysis modalities she's tried, as well as her transplant surgery at a young age but most importantly how to persevere. Although Gabi has been living with CKD her whole life, her initial transplant failing happened at a pivotal place in her life. Today Gabi dedicates her time advocating change for other kidney patients. If you'd like more info on how you can help please see the links below.
