Hi @dotygl 😊
It is so nice to meet you. Thank you so much for sharing your husband's story. In addition to tbe MOHS surgery for his squamous and melanoma, did his dermatologist or transplant team discuss the possibility of taking oral retnoids or changing his immune suppression med to sirolimus instead of tacrolimis, etc?
Did your husband notify his team about the new skin cancers that were found?
Again, thank you so much for sharing. I am in discussion with my doctors regarding the best way to try and prevent more skin cancers, (but make sure to avoid rejection of my wonderful kidney!).

@hello1234 Thanks for writing. We are not using the Mayo clinic. I use their website to learn from others experiences as caregiver/spouse. The doctors all know about the skin cancer found/removed/healed well. Since transplant, my spouse is rarely outside anymore and when he is, dressed like a mummy. I wish you all the best.

@hello1234 Hello, his team knows about the cancers and no changes in meds at this time. He is rarely outdoors and when he is , dressed head to toe like a mummy. We don't use Mayo clinic for health and live far from it. We used a different transplant clinic. I wish you well.
