Thank you for your reply, the first thing that came out of his mouth after hello was " why are you still on cell cept", I replied I've always been on cell cept and tecrolimus. He said I didn't need to be on it, I should have been taken off of it years ago. He wanted to start reducing it that day and start bloodwork once a week. I have never heard from any liver doctor nurse or person anything like this. I said I was going on vacation and would be back in a month. He was disappointed. My transplant coordinator call the next day saying to do bloodwork when I return so see him again in November. He is going to do this and I'm feeling like a lab rat. My feelings are if it's not broken don't fix it, I've been feeling great for years and my bloodwork always looks really good and even great they have told me. Thank you again for your input it's the only one I've gotten so far. MLR My transplant clinic is at VCU health, a teaching and research hospital.

@mlr733, I hope that you had an enjoyable and relaxing vacation! I am thinking about you and your 'before vacation' visit with the new doctor. Now that you are back home, have you followed up on the question of getting off Cellcept? What have you found out about the reason or safety of the change? How are your labs?
