Hello Ginjah! Thank you for your kind wishes. I am intrigued by how it is that you went into rejection after 20 years. I did not think that was even possible, provided the level of immuno suppression is monitored. Would you mind sharing the circumstances? Thank you again!

It wasn’t a smooth 20 years but I thank god because it could have been worse.. I was in an out of the hospital a lot. When I had my first surgery being I was 17 years old, being so young , I struggled with being sick and not healthy like other kids my age. I wanted to be normal. When things were going well I missed meds, didn’t stick to diets that were recommended. After learning about possible rejection I started talking my meds correctly and got a good 8-10 years. My initial diagnosis is schlorosing colongitis. It wasn’t until learning I need a second surgery that I learned PSC can return. This time around I’m more careful and keep up with meds bloodwork everything.
