    The gift of sight
    Aug 26 2024

    Have you ever thought about eye donation? Did you know you can still donate despite a cancer diagnosis? In our latest episode we are joined by Manny Marchesin. Manny’s husband Claud passed away from a type of cancer in his appendix in 2019 and despite his diagnosis was able to donate his eyes, giving the gift of sight back to others.

    You will also hear from Sofia Karageorge, our Associate Nurse Unit Manager on our palliative care ward, who will talk about this type of donation and why you can still donate despite a cancer diagnosis.

    Have you ever thought about giving an organ to a family member to save their life? What about donating to a complete stranger just for the greater good?

    On today’s episode I am joined by Steve Liston. Steve has no experience of kidney disease in his family, but last year chose to donate his kidney to save a stranger’s life. You will also hear from Dr Darren Lee, one of our transplant nephrologists, who will talk about this type of donation and how the kidney exchange works.
