What Does Amy Silverstein discuss about the heart transplant she underwent?
Amy Silverstein was diagnosed with terminal cancer last month. The author of Sick Girl just published an article in which she bids farewell to her own heart. That is to say, the heart she now carries within her body is the donor’s heart, and she bids farewell to it.
It was Silverstein’s second heart transplant; the previous one she had at age 25 has allowed her to live for over four decades. She writes about her deep appreciation for the life she has been given, but also of the “gratitude paradox” she and another transplant recipient experience.
While the “miracle” of these transplants kept her alive, the “sorry state of transplant medicine” means that her life expectancy will be far lower than it otherwise would have been.
Silverstein says she has been using the same “t0xic triad of immunosuppressive medicines—calcineurin inhibitors, antimetabolites, steroids” for decades. Unfortunately, the cancer that will ultimately kἰll her was caused by the very drυgs that spared her life.
Yes, she is thankful for her life, but she disagrees with the narrative that “discourages transplant recipients from talking freely about the real problems we face and the compromising and life-thr*atening side effects of the medicines we must take.”
She argues that the medical establishment should set higher standards for the care given to transplant recipients. For the sake of your great hearts, I am speaking up now. Please read the entire essay.
