I am 6 years out from my liver transplant. I was diagnosed with alpha 1. I took Valcyte for the first year after my transplant. I was never told I had CMV but I did have mono as a child. I never went through any rejections but I did have 3 additional surgery’s that first year due to bile duct issues. I ended up with c-diff after one of my additional surgery’s, I have had every Covid vaccine but still ended up with Covid but probably milder than some. I am somewhat of a worry wart but what I have learned is to read less and try not to worry stress itself is hard on your health. I am also a stage three cancer survivor of ten years(nothing to do with my liver) and I have sometimes looked at those stats as far as it returning. Never in my life did I ever think I would be in a position to need an organ transplant - when i do run into health issues I self talk LOL - damn it Becky your not going to survive a liver transplant and die of COVID etc. I know I probably rambled - Congrads on your first year -
