“Dialysis is the antechamber of death…” Pierre Roblin's daily life was already punctuated by long hours of connection to a large machine for two and a half years, twenty-seven years ago.
Since then, the fifty-year-old from Clermont-Ferrand (Puy-de-Dôme) has benefited from a transplanted kidney.
But he is getting more and more tired.
His wife agreed to give him a new one, and Pierre Roblin took steps to get it back.
Except he has no idea when that will be possible.
“At the end of last year, I asked the CHU (
university hospital center
) where my file was.
They told me that they had no block date available at the moment and that we might have to go through a dialysis phase,” he worries.
Fatigue, frequent cough, very low immunity… “One thing is certain: I won’t be able to last like this until the end of the year…” slips Pierre Roblin.
