I absolutely love to hear that LT patients that are out so far with their new liver. I am almost 2 years and I am so encouraged that I am going to be around for a while. You are always scared it will reject.
I do have a questions for u how much immunosuppressants are you on, how often do you get labs, and do you still see your liver doc. Also how are your kidneys doing.
Again 15 years , wonderful😊💚
I like what u said about your scar to, I think about mine and my donor family when I look at mine. I am so very grateful. Living my best life also!

Hi
I have blood work done once a month. I see my liver Dr every year. I take 1mg of Tac in the morning and at night. My kidneys took quite a hit before my transplant. My kidneys are stage 3A. I see my Kidney Dr every 3 months. They are/ have been stable. The Tac is hard on the body especially the kidneys. Also as life goes on you will probably have various growths on your body. I see a Dermatologist twice a year to be checked and have “things” burnt off. I have my first skin cancer on my forehead this month. Mohls surgery next week. I stay out of the sun because I burn very easy. Life is good. Appreciate it every day.
I don’t mind answering questions. Wishing you the best of health!

Hi, @myfablife
I was six years out from my transplant on the 23rd. I am only on one immunosuppressant. I was also taking a very small dose of prednisone until about 6 months or so ago but I no longer take that.
I go for labs every 2 months. So far, so good.
From what my doctors tell me, don't worry about rejection. They have seen that many times and know how to handle it. I have never had any problems since my transplant with anything related to it so I have been very fortunate.
