I have no experience with CMV, but do remember being on Valcyte after my transplant surgery. How long age were you diagnosed with CMV? How was it discovered-did it show up in labs? How is it monitored?

Thanks Rosemary. Was diagnosed a few weeks back. Bloodwork for my 1 year call with Mayo.
Never had it on weekly blood draws, then a low (load is it called ? )of under 100, then it went to around 850 and I go again Monday. I still do a weekly blood draw as I have the past year. Mayo's , Cleveland Clinic's and Pub Med websites all describe possible very bad outcomes for transplant patients with CMV but no hint anywhere are they common, rare, in between ? Thanks for your encouragement and advice. Have a great weekend.
