Hi @myfablife, I had a bone marrow transplant. That gave me a new immune system. Unlike a solid organ transplant where you have to take an anti-inflammatory med like Tacrolimus to avoid rejection of the organ, my new immune system wants to reject my body, because it’s foreign to the immune system.
Over the course of 2.5 years, my new immune system and body learned to play well together, so that I no longer need to take the Tacro. 🙂With a solid organ transplant your immune system will most likely always want to reject that foreign organ. So I’m not sure if you’ll be able to go off the tacro in the future or not.
Though, this past year, I was sitting in the waiting room of a med center for my turn with bloodwork. The man next to me had a liver transplant 15 years ago and I was shocked to learn he wasn’t on any meds any longer! So it can happen. Good luck!
