Post by LW Adams »

Seven more days before transplant! I kind of wished it was tomarrow insted of next tuesday. My transplant team wants me to start Prograf and CellCept this saturday, I guess what I would like to know is are there any side affects that I should look for or look forward in having? Thanks for your help and suportfor the last year.
Will try and keep everyone informed doring my transplant and after I get home.
Have Fun and Live life to the fullest. :D

Dear LW,
So happy to hear that you are going to get a transplant! :D I take the "old" drugs for rejection, so I can't help you with any info, but I will be thinking of you and praying for a successful surgery and quick recovery! :D I'll bet you are excited and nervous...that is normal and anyone who says they are NOT a bit scared is either lying or deceiving themselves.
Take care of yourself and don't forget to post as to how you are doing once you are feeling better!
Best Wishes,
Pam
