@dakotabonnie, Me too! I always take the advice of my transplant team, and for 13 years, they (Mayo Clinic Rochester - Liver and Kidney Department) have never failed to provide the best! My PCP is totally impressed with how proactive they are when it comes to providing preventive treatments. Even my husband is ahead of others in the general population by following the guidance they provide to me!
I hope you continue to do well.

That's awesome! You and I may have crossed paths at Mayo! I went to the liver transplant center from 2006 to 2010, but my insurance provider then told me I would need to go to a transplant center closer to where I live, which was University of Colorado. My surgeon at Mayo did training at University, so she provided some supportive suggestions, and I found lots of doctors knew her (still do!). She is loved and respected greatly by all of them, including my doctor now. University is great, but I still go to Mayo for advice as its readily available and accurate. I went back to see my surgeon at Mayo and some of my nurses on my 10th anniversary and they made me promise to come back to see them. I call Mayo the Dome of Miracles, and the people who work there are miracle workers!! You and I ( among many others) are so blessed to say they saved our lives! Be well!
