After 17 years living with cardiomyopathy, Terri Cecere received a life-saving heart transplant. Moved by the generosity that saved his wife, her caregiver husband, George, decided to give back in the ultimate way—by donating a kidney to a total stranger. Kent has an inspiring conversation with George and Terri Cecere as they unpack the emotional journey of transplantation, the realities of caregiving, and how a single act of kindness can ripple out to save multiple lives. In this episode, we discuss: The Caregiver's Perspective: The unspoken emotional realities of supporting a loved one through chronic illness and organ failure. Paying It Forward: How receiving one gift of life inspired George to become a living kidney donor. Debunking Living Donation: Why altruistic kidney donation is far more doable—and needed—than most people realize. Building a Community: How George founded TCH Caregiver's Heart to ensure transplant caregivers never have to walk the path alone.

Andrej Žido, podpredsednik društva Transplant, je eden od sedmerice športnic in športnikov, ki so konec junija na Nizozemskem zastopali Slovenijo na evropskih športnih igrah transplantiranih in ledvičnih bolnikov. Domov so se vrnili z rekordno bero odličij; s kar 6 zlatimi in 3 srebrnimi medaljami. Med dobitniki zlatega odličja je bil tudi naš sogovornik, zmagovalec na tekmi v kronometru. Gre za potrditev truda, ki ga vložiš v pripravo, še pomembnejša pa so srečanja z ljudmi, s podobnimi izkušnjami, ki jih spoznaš na teh igrah, in prijateljstva, ki se stkejo, pravi. Želi si, da bi jih pod svoje okrilje vzel Olimpijski komite Slovenije in bi tako lahko postali prava reprezentanca. Danes lahko pripoveduje o zahtevni toda uspešni presaditvi jeter, leta 2019, in koreniti spremembi, ki jo je prinesla. Življenje se mu je namreč povsem spremenilo, vse se je sestavilo, kot se mora. Vsak dan, ki ga preživim, je darilo in zato čutim, da moram družbi vrniti, pojasnjuje. To počne tudi v društvu Transplant. Kako? Prisluhnite!

In today's episode, we welcomed Everett Meyer, MD, PhD, an associate professor of medicine (blood & marrow transplantation), an associate professor of pediatrics (stem cell transplantation), and an associate professor of surgery (abdominal transplantation) at Stanford Medicine in California.In the exclusive interview, Dr Meyer discussed the significance of the June 2026 FDA approval of allogeneic regulatory T cell–based immunotherapy with hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) and T cells-vldq (Tregzi; Orca-T) for use in matched donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with a myeloablative preparative regimen, for hematopoietic and immunologic reconstitution, and to improve chronic graft-vs-host disease (cGHVD)–free survival in the treatment of adults with hematological malignancies. Dr Meyer also broke down what the approval of Orca-T means for the transplant field, detailed the design and key outcomes from the phase 3 Precision-T trial (NCT05316701) that supported the approval, and outlined how this approach could be integrated into clinical practice.

In this episode, former Wales international Rhys Thomas returns for a third time to share what it was like to finally receive the call for a heart transplant after 12 years of waiting. The conversation explores fear, surrender, survival, gratitude, recovery, and how life feels when the future suddenly opens up again.SHOW NOTES what it felt like to receive the call he had waited years for  how he approached the operation emotionally and mentally before going under  what waking up after the transplant was like and why it felt magical  how fear, survival, and uncertainty shaped the years before the operation  what he has reclaimed in himself since the transplant, including joy and softness Season 3 is proudly sponsored by Lightside Financial Planning - a fiercely independent, Liverpool-based firm focused on clear, human conversations about money. Find out more at https://lightsidefp.co.uk/

Episode 388 Two extraordinary breakthroughs have been made in transplant surgery. First, scientists have found a way of keeping human eyes alive for up to 10 hours after death, opening up the possibility of eye transplants in the future.  And in a second controversial surgery, another team has managed to restore severed spinal cords in pigs, allowing them to walk again after being paralysed. While it's hoped this will eventually allow people with spinal injuries to walk again, one of the scientists involved is a proponent of human head transplants - or body transplants as they should really be known. Is that the ultimate goal? Find out how the scientists achieved these feats - and what's required to take both surgeries to the next level.

Several years ago, in 2016, we told a story about Amy Pearl. For as long as she could remember, Amy loved meat in all its glorious cuts and marbled flavors. And then one day, for seemingly no reason, her body wouldn't tolerate it.  No steaks. No brisket. No weenies. It made no sense: why couldn't she eat something that she had routinely enjoyed for decades?  It turned out Amy was not alone. And the answer to her mysterious allergy involved maps, a dancing lone star tick, and a very particular sugar called Alpha Gal.  In this update, we discover that our troubles with Alpha Gal go way beyond food. We go to NYU Langone Health hospital to see the second ever transplant of a kidney from a pig into a human, talk to some people at Revivicor, the company that bred the pig in question, and go back to Amy to find out what she thinks about this brave new world. The original episode was reported by Latif Nasser, and produced by Annie McEwen and Matt Kielty. Sound design and scoring from Dylan Keefe, Annie McEwen, and Matt Kielty. Mix by Dylan Keefe with Arianne Wack. The update was reported and produced by Sarah Qari. It was sound designed, scored, and mixed by Jeremy Bloom. LATERAL CUTS: How does a tick bit can cause a red meat allergy? - An episode from our friends over at Science Friday, who had a recent conversation with the researcher who discovered the connection, decades ago.   Support Radiolab by becoming a member today at Radiolab.org/donate.    Sign up for our newsletter!!

This dual-topic episode goes deep. Stair Cases to Nowhere:We talk about the phenomenon of the stair cases to nowhere. From time to time, forest rangers and hikers have discovered mysterious structures deep in the woods that leave them feeling disoriented and “off” after they climbed them. After coming in contact with the staircases, these people experienced awful nightmares and paranormal activity. Transplant Memory:There have been cases where after having an organ transplant, the person who received the transplant began to experience cravings, thoughts, dreams and memories that are not their own. This topic hits home as our co-host Adam received a life-saving heart transplant in 2021. After a series of sicknesses and hospital visits, Adam was given the news that his heart was dying, and he needed a transplant in order to live. Adam gives his personal account of receiving a heart transplant and the after effects that living with another person‘s organ can create.

On today's episode of Deep Cuts Exploring Equity in Surgery, we sit down with Dr. Ashley Suah and Dr. Andrea Liu to explore the field of transplant surgery from the personal past that led them to the specialty to the ethical dilemmas behind organ allocation and the ongoing work to make transplant care more equitable. We discuss what it actually takes to get a patient onto the waiting list and through transplant, the persistent racial and socioeconomic disparities that shape who gets access to care and how those biases show up at every stage of the process, and why growing diversity in the surgical and transplant workforce is essential to building trust and better serving minority patients. We also dig into what meaningful representation looks like in practice. Not just at the bedside, but in research, leadership, and the decisions that shape policy, and why public trust in the system remains essential to its survival. This conversation highlights both the deep challenges and the profound life-changing impact of transplant care.  Dr. Ashley Suah is a board-certified transplant surgeon who specializes in kidney and liver transplant. She is an advocate for eliminating racial and gender disparities with regards to transplant surgery, and post-transplant care. Dr. Andrea Liu is a general surgery resident at the University of Chicago, with interests in transplant surgery.  Deep Cuts comes to you from the Department of Surgery at the University of Chicago, which is located on Ojibwe, Odawa and Potawatomi land.

Can misinformation keep someone from receiving a life-saving transplant? In this episode, Amy Sylvis welcomes back Dr. Kamyar Afshar, Medical Director of the UC San Diego Lung Transplant Program, to tackle some of the most common misconceptions surrounding lung transplantation and organ donation. Drawing from years of clinical experience, Dr. Afshar explains why misinformation, outdated statistics, and generalized medical advice can create unnecessary fear for patients already facing one of the most difficult decisions of their lives. Together, Amy and Dr. Afshar discuss what modern transplant outcomes actually look like, why individualized care matters more than statistics, and how trust between patients and their care team plays a critical role throughout the transplant journey. They also explore common myths about organ donation, the importance of communicating your wishes with loved ones, and how a collaborative, patient-centered approach continues to make the impossible possible for transplant recipients.   Connect with Dr. Kamyar Afshar: UC San Diego Health Phone: (858) 657-5050 Email: kaafshar@health.ucsd.edu   Connect with Amy Sylvis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amysylvis/   Contact Us: https://www.sylviscapital.com https://www.sylviscapital.com/webinar info@sylviscapital.com   00:00 – Why Lung Transplant Myths Matter 05:13 – Myth #1: Transplant Survival Rates Haven't Improved 09:05 – Myth #2: Every Risk Will Happen to Me 14:03 – Building Trust Between Patients and Providers 19:58 – Hope Over Certainty 22:57 – Making the Impossible Possible 24:48 – Myth #3: Doctors Won't Save Organ Donors 27:54 – Why Organ Donation Starts with a Conversation

Hair loss affects millions of people, but it's something many of us still feel uncomfortable talking about. For some it's simply part of getting older, but for others it can have a real impact on confidence and wellbeing. Hair transplants have become far more common over the past decade. But how do they actually work? Who are they suitable for? And what should people know before considering one? Dr. Kai leads the hair transplant team at The Auckland Clinic and Emile put all your questions to him. [picture id="4JTFGGP_Dr_Kai_JPG" crop="16x10" layout="full"]

Is it still porch piracy if someone takes your packages by mistake... and gives them back a few hours later?That's the debate that kicks off today's episode of The Treehouse Show. Dan is convinced his Airbnb host became a porch pirate after his packages disappeared, while Trey thinks Dan is being a full-blown Karen because everything was returned just eight hours later. Where do you stand?We also celebrate celebrity birthdays with Tom Hanks and Kelly McGillis, looking at how two stars from Top Gun ended up on completely different Hollywood career paths. (And who remembers Tom Hanks on Family Ties?)Then things get wonderfully ridiculous as we revisit the man with the world's smallest penis, who's now crowdfunding for enlargement surgery. That naturally leads to one very important question: Why aren't penis transplants a thing? Trey has a theory... and it's exactly as ridiculous as you'd expect.If you love funny news, weird internet stories, pop culture, celebrity birthdays, and hilarious debates between two lifelong friends, you've found your new favorite podcast.In this episode:Is your Airbnb host a porch pirate?Honest mistake or package theft?Tom Hanks vs. Kelly McGillis career discussionCelebrity birthdaysWorld's smallest penis updatePenis enlargement crowdfundingThe strange science of penis transplantsComedy podcast, trending news, and ridiculous conversationsSubscribe for new episodes of The Treehouse Show every week!About the show:Leave your worries outside and join Dan O'Malley, Trey Trenholm, and their hilarious guests for laughs about funny news and viral stories with ridiculous commentary inside the Treehouse Show. 

Tim McDonald was sitting down for Thanksgiving dinner in 2020 when the pain started. A few days later, a doctor handed him a single sheet of paper and said three words nobody wants to hear: "You have cancer."Stage 4 colorectal cancer. Liver covered in tumors. A second oncologist told him he had three years to live and she'd focus on "quality of life." His response? "That's your story. Not mine."In this episode, Tim shares how over a decade of mindfulness practice shaped the way he faced one of the hardest diagnoses a person can receive and how he went from following doctors' orders to becoming the general manager of his own care team, ultimately pursuing a liver transplant at a time when fewer than 20 people in the US had received one for colorectal cancer.This conversation goes deep on:→ What it actually feels like to hear "you have cancer" and stay calm→ Why getting a second (and third, and tenth) opinion saved his life→ The player → quarterback → general manager framework for owning your treatment→ Men, vulnerability, and why cancer support groups changed everything→ The dark thought he had toward the end of chemo — and what pulled him back→ Why survivorship was mentally harder than treatment itself→ How advocacy work became part of his healingIf you or someone you love is navigating a cancer diagnosis, this episode is essential listening.───────────────────────────

As Norway's crown princess, Mette-Marit, convalesces from lung transplant surgery, we bring together patients and doctors to share their experiences of this major life-saving procedure. Since the 1980s, lung transplantations have become increasingly routine, but as every operation relies on suitable donor organs becoming available, the timing is always uncertain.“Everything was so quick, everything was so scary,” says Aimee Morrison, who received her new lungs last year, only months after being told she had a chronic degenerative condition, “You don't really get an opportunity to think about what's happening … 10-12 hr surgery, unknown results, what's going to happen afterwards…” As we hear, Aimee's story was particularly dramatic as only a week before her operation she had given birth to her daughter. Lung transplant patients require life-long aftercare from physicians like Dr Vicky Gerovasili, as their condition will always eventually deteriorate. “That can be very emotionally stressful,” she says,”but it's also very rewarding because we are becoming part of their life and their family. I sign off patients to go scuba diving, travel the world and that's fantastic to see.”

This Skeptical Sunday, Jessica Wynn explains how dialysis became a $50B industry where under 40% of patients survive five painful years of dependence.Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1336On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Dialysis is a life-sustaining external filtration system for the roughly 800,000 Americans in kidney failure — but it's grueling. Most patients endure three to five hours per session, three times a week, indefinitely, and fewer than 40% survive beyond five years.The financial structure is staggering. Dialysis is a $50 billion-a-year US industry, with Medicare spending about $36 billion annually — roughly 7% of its entire budget for under 1% of the population. Two companies, DaVita and Fresenius, control about 70% of all clinics.The system rewards permanence over cure. Since 1972, Medicare has covered kidney failure for everyone regardless of age, creating guaranteed, indefinite revenue. Transplants and home dialysis are cheaper and better for patients, yet under-incentivized because they cost providers customers.The human and safety toll is severe. Infections cause 36% of dialysis deaths, sepsis mortality runs 100 to 300 times higher than average, and understaffing worsens outcomes. Many patients lose their jobs, mobility, and social lives — some choose to stop treatment entirely.The hopeful part: much kidney disease is preventable or delayable, and you have real power here. Manage diabetes and hypertension aggressively, get your kidneys checked with a simple blood and urine test, and see a nephrologist early — catching it sooner can dramatically slow progression.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
