I am 6 years out on tacromilis - at when did the skin cancer start showing up ? I am on a pretty low dose- I am just curious since my Dr brings it up. Did you ever experience type 2 diabetes year three I was feeling crappy and sugars were 600 I was put on insulin shots right away three years later my 5.3 and I am off insulin. I was told it’s a common side effect of tacromilis. Wow on 38 years that is so awesome !! Thanks for the positive post.

I think it took at least 15 years before my skin cancers started showing up. I have only had squamous or basil cell. Very easy to get rid of if you get them checked. I always say, if something is new and is tender, get it looked at by a dermatologist. Best wishes to you n

I have not had any trouble with diabetes. It was a long time before I started getting skin cancer. Maybe 15 to 20 years. I was in the sun a lot when I was younger. I have also been on predisone since I was 16. No one told me I should stay out of the sun. I have been very careful since my transplant but the damage was already done. My best advice is if you see something new and it is tender, get it checked by a dermatologist. I have only had squamous and basil cell. If they are caught they are easily treated. I don’t know anything about melanoma. Wishing you the best of luck on your journey.
