Switching CellCept (mycophenolate mofetil) for Sirolimus (rapamycin)?

Your experience is my experience. Lots of mohs surgeries. Years ago my dermatologist (with my transplant docs consent) switched out cellcept for rapamune. It didn't make a difference whatsoever. All immunosuppressants, no matter which one, deprives the recipient any defense from the uv rays. My recommendation is to avoid the uv rays by staying out of the sun, wear spf clothing, apply sunscreen, etc.
Best advice

@charliesilberman Thank you so much for sharing your experience with changing out Cellcept. That's very helpful. My dermatologist offered me blue light therapy or efudex to do regularly in an attempt to keep all the pre-cancers on my scalp quiet.
Did your dermatologist offer any of those treatment ideas, did you try any of them, and what are your thoughts?
Were your MOHS squamous cell on your scalp? That's what I keep getting.
Your idea about staying out of the sun and put on lots of sunscreen is excellent. Unfortunately, I live in Florida so even the inside of my sunny house and sunny car with lots of windows is a daily hazard. Please let me know your experience on any of the maintenance treatments that the dermatologist offers.
Thank you for sharing!
