Ok about TAC level, they asked to keep around 8 . Is it under my control? No. But this is the level they want to see now. Waiting for blood test results of this week.

Hi @future 🥰
When you were first transplanted, did you start at 1,000 mg of Cellcept twice a day like me (with your Envarsus XR in the morning?).
If so, it sounds like the team decreased the dosage over the first year down to 250 mg Cellcept twice a day with your Envarsus XR.
Were you experiencing very low wbc or infection that encouraged the decrease of dosage? Or something else?
I had CMV virus, then BK virus which caused the decrease of Cellcept in the first year to 250mg bid.
(When you have infection, it came be a sign of over immune suppression).
What was going on for you during the first year? Did you start at 1,000 mg Cellcept twice a day like me, then it was decreased?
