@ugottabkidneyme Take a look at what @roxylulu22 posted and perhaps this will help your dilemma. If your transplant doctor retired, check with the center to see who has replaced him on your team. It is critical that they monitor his progress and success after transplant.
As for your local doctor not saying too much, it could be because he doesn't have the background knowledge of post-transplant to address your concerns. A good nephrologist will admit that, and will also work hand-in-hand with the transplant team/center to enable a patient to have their best recovery/ongoing health.
Can you consider this and reach out? When my husband had his transplant in Oct 2016, he was closely followed. In 2021 he had to relocate his follow-up care because he moved to our retirement property 1000 miles away from the transplant center. It's possible to do this!
