For practically 15 years, 3 times every week, Muhammed drove 45 minutes every means from her residence in rural Rochelle to the closest dialysis facility. 

“I’m simply working with what I bought, the automotive that I’ve,” she stated. “Simply hoping that is the top of the highway.” 


Enhancing cancer treatment with a simple change

Three months later, Muhammed’s lengthy highway to a transplant ended whereas she was sitting within the dialysis chair. 

“Once I bought the decision, I used to be excited, nervous and scared on the similar time, however I used to be prepared,” Muhammed stated.  

It’s a state of affairs Dr. Dinee Simpson envisioned when she began the African American Transplant Access Program at Northwestern Medicine. She is aware of the challenges her sufferers face. On the core of her work – constructing belief along with her sufferers and serving to them navigate their diagnoses. 

“To see her face within the preoperative space when we’re like ‘oh my gosh, we’re lastly right here, you’re going to get a kidney,’ and you’ll say goodbye to dialysis, there’s nothing higher than that,” Dr. Simpson stated.

For Muhammed, this system jump-started a stalled path to transplant. 

“It was nice that she stepped up and bought her program to assist individuals like me laborious to get on the listing, however I’m grateful for all of it,” Muhammed stated.

After extra lab assessments confirmed the donor organ was a very good match, Muhammed arrived on the hospital for her surgical procedure. 

“It was slightly scary, and I didn’t know what to anticipate and I used to be simply anxious to get it over with,” she stated.  

Muhammed stated she was happy simply realizing “I didn’t have to return to dialysis.” 

As an alternative of standard journeys to dialysis, Muhammed now checks in each two weeks. Thus far, her new kidney is holding up, and her power is greater than it’s been in 15 years. 

“I used to really feel sick day by day. Now I really feel rather a lot higher. No extra of that sick feeling, so I really feel extra regular now. Again to regular,” Muhammed stated.  

As she will get stronger, her ideas usually drift to her donor.

“Nearly each day want I might thank the household and her or him,” Muhammed stated.  

Muhammed is the 19th affected person to obtain a transplant with the assistance of AATAP, a quantity Dr. Simpson is set to develop. 

“It’ll want extra applications like ours throughout the nation, but it surely additionally wants coverage change, so working with lawmakers to handle the structural points in our communities to make a change on that degree,” Dr. Simpson stated.  


Doctor breaks down barriers and brings transplant patients closer to life-saving surgery

Muhammed says she stays grateful and provides that she want to get a job at a dialysis middle to encourage different sufferers and allow them to know there’s hope for a life-changing transplant. 

“It means every part. It saved my life for one,” Muhammed stated. “I’m grateful for Dr. Simpson, her program, and every part she helped me get by to get my kidney.”
