My Twenty Year Journey With PKD In The Dialysis World

About the Book

After self-publishing my very first book to share my dialysis experience, many of my readers wanted to know more about my 20 year journey with PKD in the Dialysis World, and I did just that, not only they hear about my 20 year experience, they will travel with me through my journey from my pre-dialysis days to my current PD days. After being on dialysis 10 years with PKD, I decided it was time to learn exactly what is PKD, and after learning more about PKD, I began to research my family history of the disease, and discovered some very interesting facts about my family. I decided to share this discovery in this second book. You will get an education about PKD, and even learn what are the signs and symptoms of PKD. I also share my first transplant experience, this book is packed with info that could be potentially beneficial to pending dialysis pts, as well as fairly new diaylsis patients. And last but not least, I invite my readers for a repeat invite into Glo´s renal friendly kitchen, to check out some more recipes, plus some repeated recipes from my first book "My Renal Life" (i know it, i live it), you will be delighted with the array of recipes that I share, plus I include some nutritional facts to help in accomodating a renal diet needs.

About the Author

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Gloria Ann Jeff-Moore, but you could call me Glo. I have the polycystic kidney disease, which developed into end stage renal disease in 1990, I have been on dialysis two decades. I had a ten year run with hem dialysis, but due to numerous AV Grafts and repairs, I had to eventually transition to peritoneal dialysis, in which I am currently towards completion of my tenth year. I received the blessing of a cadaver back in 1993, but it failed in four months, due to complications with anti-rejection medication. Up until 2009, I accepted the fact that I may never receive the blessing of cadaver kidney, because of my obvious high levels of antibodies, but through my faith and belief in him, bringing about the brilliant creation of IVIG, I have a better chance of being a candidate once again for a cadaver kidney. I am currently going through the preparation for this procedure, and I have so much hope now, because of this procedure. I am married to a 20 year Navy veteran, I have a daughter, (Tiffany Moore), who is in her junior year of college in the pre-med program, to someday become a vascular surgeon. My stepson, (Rashaan Moore), graduated 2007 from Sacramento State University with a BS in Communication. I reside in Fairfield, California, (a suburb in the bay area). I became a first time author of “My Renal Life” (I know it, I live it), in 2009, and now embarking on the publication of this second book “My Twenty Year Journey in the Dialysis with PKD”.
