The Belfast Trust released a statement this evening saying that Joe Brolly's kidney transfer to his friend Shane Finnegan on October 3 has failed and Brolly's kidney has been removed from Finnegan.
The Belfast Trust released the following statement on the failed transplant this evening:
"This is a rare and unfortunate occurrence after kidney transplantation, (most kidneys from a living donor work successfully for many years).".
"Whilst both families are naturally devastated, they are hugely encouraged by the massive wave of goodwill and support from the community and the resultant increased public awareness of the critical importance of organ donation.
"Mr Finnegan is confident that with the continued support of family and friends he will be home soon and able to resume a full family and work life."
Balls. Here's hoping Shane Finnegan finds another kidney donor.
