@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.

I am so happy to hear that you are on your 16th kidney transplant anniversary. How wonderful! I received a deceased donor kidney and I pray that my kidney has a nice long life like yours. 👍
Other than the skin cancers, have you experienced any other challenges or are things pretty much smooth sailing?
I needed my transplant because of childhood nephritis (most likely caused by a childhood illness that ended up in the kidney).
Are you enjoying the cooler weather in sunny Miami. Florida is having delicious weather!
