Organ rejection can greatly affect a patient's quality of life and also deeply impact their families. It's a challenging journey, often filled with physical discomfort and emotional distress. There's the constant fear of compatibility issues and the potential need for additional surgeries. For the families, it's a constant worry about the health of their loved ones, coupled with financial stress and the emotional strain of seeing them suffer.

It's important to maintain open communication with your healthcare provider to manage any discomfort or complications. Coping strategies and supportive care can also be hugely beneficial during the treatment.
