Great info, @jakedduck1 It works against the immune system, which right off the bat tells me it is probably not appropriate for me. I don’t need to be less immune than the immunosuppressants already make me. Also, I read recently that when you are on immunosuppressants, you are at greater risk of cancer since your body’s ability to fight cancer off is part of your immune system also. Of course whenever a new drug is prescribed for me I run it by my transplant team to get their input and I am sure they would immediately say a big, resounding NO.

@contentandwell
Do you have any statistics on how many transplant patients actually get cancer?
