[quote=Anonymous]OP, every person I knew personally who was on dialysis, which includes four persons over the years did not live beyond five years. Two were 80 years or above when they started. Another was in her late 50s or early 60s and the other was in his late 40s. Three had other health issues like diabetes. One thing I observed was overtime the dialysis was extremely draining of their energy which you can imagine from the dialysis process. You should go into it with an open mind for your loved one. Over time they will begin to decline because of it although dialysis will be their lifeline. It will diminish their quality of life. [/quote]
