Does anyone take Everolimus? They want me to switch to that because I now have cancer and it is supposed to help.

@rachel5239 Yes, I was switched from tacrolimus to everolimus in 2019 when first diagnosed with GYN cancer as well as with declining kidney function. Easy transition, it worked very well. Unfortunately the cancer progressed necessitating a large surgery with multiple complications.
It was determined that everolimus hinders surgical healing, so I was switched back to tacrolimus. After all healing was completed, I wanted to go back to everolimus however my insurance coverage had changed and the new plan does not cover everolimus. It served me well except for the interference with healing. Kidney numbers were back in range while on everolimus.

Hi @caretakermom 🥰
I hope all is going well! I am pretty sure I remember that your wonderful hubby was changed to Everolimus. Rachel's doctor wants to change her to Everolimus too. What was hubby's experience with Everolimus, everything good? @caretakermom
