Wow, you have really done it all! I received my kidney transplant five years ago and in the last year the skin cancer problem has really fired up. How long have you had your transplant? I am on Cellcept and Envarsus XR.
Did you find that one type of treatment was more effective than another in keeping things under control? I was thinking of trying the blue light?
How often do you go the dermatologist for check ups?
I have discovered that my dermatologist can not find the squamous. I find them by the way the feel.
Is your dermatologist able to find the squamous or do you find the problem areas yourself by the way they feel?
Thank you for sharing your experiences. It's very helpful to meet someone going through a similar issue with immune suppression meds.

@hello1234 we have similarities. I had a kidney transplant. I inherited pkd from my dad's side. What caused your kidneys to quit? I was transplanted 16 years ago. Around year 5 the cancers began. When I suspect skin cancer I make an appointment with my derm. She does the biopsies and if necessary mohs surgery. There are preventative measures but no effective treatment. Because of the immunosuppressants we are at a high risk for reoccurrence.
