Efudex with calcipotriol for pre-cancers on scalp

@hello1234 Got my kidney transplant 3 years ago from a deceased donor. Initially I was started on Cellcept and Tacro both. then they cut me back to just Tacro. When the malignant melanoma appear we switched to Sirolimus and Prednisone. Basically all of that went pretty smoothly with no debilitating side effects so far. Basically the most troublesome thing that's happened was when I was hit by an electric delivery bike who was running a red light while I was crossing the street. That left me with a cut that got infected with a drug resisstent strain. I'm ok now, but that was not my idea of fun. Finally got rid of that. BTW- I've read that some folks are using Sirolimus off-label because there is some evidence that it prolongs your life even if you don't have a transplant.

THANK YOU again for all the excellent information!
All of your skin cancer information is incredibly helpful to me.
It gives me hope that my skin cancer situation will improve.
Your electric bike accident sounds awful. What a terrible thing to happen.
Did they have to lower your immune suppression meds to fight the bad infection? Which antibiotic did they finally use to resolve your drug resistant strain?
It sounds like you had an outstanding Infectious Disease doctor that finally resolved it. There are not many drugs that can resolve the drug resistant infections.
Unfortunately, I have been seeing more and more teenagers in our area driving very fast electric bikes and scooters on the sidewalk.
It's dangerous because they are so fast (and not under good control).
I am so very grateful that you are okay now, but I am sorry that you had such an ordeal to go through. You are strong!
