I totallly agree with you. At the end of the day it's you that's gonna live that life and it's your choice.
As for the kids thing, just be sure that you could live without them. I'm not sure how old you are but it does get harder to accept when you get older.
I really wish you all the best and just make that decision for yourself and no-one else. xxxxx

I agree with you with regards to if his condition is hereditary not having children. It is why Rachy and I went for genetic counselling as mine is hereditary. We cannot have the embryos washed at the moment, so we won't be having children. Which is fine as we have her two children but I was obviously a bit sad that I won't biologically have a child, but I don't want to bring a child into the world knowing it could suffer from pkd. The other thing to consider is that perhaps if he cannot biologically have children, you have the option of sperm donation or adoption.

I understand that you are thinking it through, which everyone does in a relationship, but I believe that as a transplant patient it won't really be an issue apart from where having kids is concerned. Transplant patients lead pretty regular lives if he goes into renal failure, then he will be poorly but obviously he managed on dialysis previously else he wouldn't have the transplant. I have lived as the carer of someone on dialysis, but there is nothing in this world that would stop me being with Rachy, if you feel the same about this gentleman then I would advise to give it a go.
