I may not be long term but almost 2 years. I will say this. Pre-op was miserable but I finally focused on myself and what is important. I met a wonderful woman while I was at the worst of it. The day of our first date or supposed to be was the day I got the call for my Transplant. A year to the day we got married almost been married a year. I have a great family now and something to live for. For most people this is the one of the worst things that has happened them but for me it was the best. I now have direction, love and hope. All those I never had before, I was selfish and static. I know this isn't super inspirational but hey eat good, exercise and don't forget your meds. FYI your young if they go to take you off Cellcept have them heavily monitor you. They took me off for a month before a blood test and my levels took almost 6 months to regulate.
