I would love to speak to Mark Hubek regarding his kidney transplant. I have information that may be helpful to him and his family. I had two sons that a transplant and one a donor. Please have him give me a call at 863-206-0590. There transplant was in 1999 and they are both doing great. Please call. Thank you
