@gaybinator, I'm sorry to hear about your husband's cancer. What a shame his derm wasn't better informed! You must feel so frustrated, among other things, of course. Keep us posted on his progress and please know people here are supportive.

@gaybinator Thank you for bringing up the importance of skin care after transplant. To lose a transplanted kidney because of the drugs used to keep it around, must be devastating. A tough place to be. I have met several people who have chosen dialysis over transplant, or who cannot be transplanted. My husband's transplant was almost three years ago, and it is a constant battle to get him to wear sunscreen. As a melanoma survivor, I know the value of vigilance.

@gaybinator I think I may understand the "reversal" of dietary guidelines relating to water. When trying to save a kidney they want you to use it regularly and keep it flushed. Once the kidney is gone, those fluids have no way to escape and remain in the body; often resulting in edema and other problems. I remember meeting one kidney transplant patient whose favorite meal post transplant was grilled steak and brown pop.
