I am so happy to hear that your Cellcept dosage was reduced for a great reason (liver doing well!!) and not an infection. My CMV is considered resolved so far, thank goodness. I was super worried about having CMV, but the Valcyte treatment did the job. They are continuing to monitor the CMV and keep the Cellcept reduced. My kidney function is stable so far and doing well so I am hopeful that maybe this is my new maintenance dosage!

Oh, Valcyte…I took that along with Bactrim for 3 months post transplant. I’m glad the CMV has gone away. I have an ongoing thing with oral thrush due to Sjogren’s, and probably our meds. Did you have to do Nystatin in the hospital after your transplant? The dreadful “swish and swallow.” That’s to keep oral thrush away. But, not working on me anymore. So, have to get something different.

The link Rosemary shared on Vacation Tips has some good ideas on restaurant eating for transplant people. I also wanted to recommend an air fryer. It’s quick, super easy to clean, and healthy as it limits the amount of oil you need.

Good luck in keeping your kidney functions up and Mycophenolate dosage down!
