About this listen
Having an organ transplant is a big thing for someone to go through and for most people there is a lot of fear and uncertainty in the lead up. One factor we haven’t spoken about yet is how do you tackle that uncertainty and illness while being a parent. How much do you tell your child? What’s the best way to explain to them you are about to receive a transplant?
To help us navigate this we speak to Dr Donovan Moncur. Donovan is a child psychiatrist and is going to help give parents some tools and information on how best to explain a complex situation like this.
We will also chat to Sally Yeung. Sally has had a kidney transplant and was put on the transplant waiting list while her daughter was in prep so knows this dilemma all too well.
