Hi, just wanted to jump in and give you more info on stages, which may help some but ultimately only your physicians can decide what is best for you if you don't want to do dialysis. It is difficult for us to say any options because we can't give medical advice plus, honestly, we wouldn't know the factors of your case better than a doctor even if we could. I think the best bet is to get in to see your nephrologist as soon as you can and voice your reservations about dialysis and maybe even get a second opinion. Whatever you decide, though, we will be here. You don't have to go through it alone! Keep on keepin' on, DPM
