A woman is in desperate need of help for a life-limiting condition after her kidney donor dropped out 24 hours before a planned operation. Diana Isajeva Randhawa is now issuing another urgent plea for a donor to come forward after being given just months to live.
Diana, from Cardiff, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of lupus aged 19 and underwent periodic chemotherapy for it, but in 2020 she was told her kidneys had started to fail. She urgently needed a donor - and at that point the NHS waiting list had been suspended, so she had to advertise her donor search on social media and even using the back window of her car.
After Diana's plea was shared by WalesOnline, 30 potential donors volunteered to help. Diana said it was "overwhelming, and actually really amazing," with support coming in from across the UK.
