Hi @banksnc49 😊
I am a two year post kidney transplant patient.
I am very happy to hear that everything is going so well with your Belatacept infusions. I am curious when and why they changed you to Belatacept infusions. (I like to educate myself on the arsenal of immune suppression drugs and when they are used). Were you having a problem tolerating Tacronlimis or Cellcept or was it something else?
Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

I have been on belatacept since the beginning. I also take Myfortic. I was put on belatacept because I had most of my small intestine removed due to it being full of blood clots. They were concerned that I would not be able to absorb the pills required so the belatacept was a life saver for me because it’s absorbed in the blood stream. However, I do absorb the Myfortic. I’ve never had any problems with either drug.
