Islet transplant gives Killam woman a future
Diane Gordon, of Killam, recently underwent her second islet cell transplant, a step of what could be a three-part process, one that she feels has potentially saved her life and given her a future to look forward to.
Gordon, who is a private person, wanted to share her experience because she’s very well aware of how many people’s lives are affected by Type 1 Diabetes, and she knows many are genuinely interested in the progress currently being made in diabetes research.
“This research, and the amazing team of doctors and nurses at the University of Alberta Hospital and Islet Transplant Clinic have not only changed my quality of life, but my outlook on life,” she says.
