It is now three years since the first edition of Surviving Transplantation was published. Several very positive reviews and comments helped to convince us to publish this Web edition as copyrighted freeware. As with the text edition, our primary goal has been to make this material available to as many transplant candidates and recipients as is possible. By publishing the book digitally, we plan to continuously revise its contents as technological developments occur in the rapidly advancing field of organ transplantation. Many thanks to our supporters at LARG*net and St. Joseph's Health Care London, Canada.
We will also be able to include additional information on coping as we hear your further comments and questions. These can be sent to jcraven@julian.uwo.ca.
