@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.

@cromme50 I also have stage 3 kidney disease. I am more worried about my kidneys than my transplant. We are retired and on Medicare and humana. Even with humana, i cannot afford the Everolimus. I am trying to find some help with the price. Thanks for the information.
