I am a 84 year old male, I started on Hemodialysis 5 days after my 80 th birthday. I switched to peritoneal dialysis after 1 year and four month. I live alone and find this treatment perfect. I feel so much better on peritoneal dialysis.
@@BobHall-dt2qv - I'm happy to hear from you. You show that my doctor was so much out of line telling me I'd "already lived a full life". I stopped going to him and have a new doctor now, so perhaps my treatment will continue without anyone being concerned about how old I am. I look forward to hearing from you when we are 100!
