Organ Rejection: A Patient's Perspective on the Transplant Experience

From a patient's perspective, organ rejection after a transplant can be a physically and emotionally challenging experience. The uncertainty of one's body accepting the new organ takes a toll on our mental well-being, while the potential side effects of anti-rejection medications can impact our daily lives. Additionally, the constant monitoring and follow-up appointments can feel overwhelming and exhausting. It is important for us to have a strong support system, including friends, family, and medical professionals, to help us navigate through this difficult time. Sharing our experiences with others who have gone through a similar journey can also provide comfort and a sense of community.
