Fantastic news i am so glad everything is finally going well for you. Stay strong and good luck in the future. X 😊

Great news. I'm still doing every 3 months over 2 years on. Hoping to get that reduced next time.

I've become monthly again after nearly 1.5 years of transplant. The consultants do not trust my GPs. I suppose we are lucky to get this treatment and service

For me it's a bit of a faff because I have to take the day off of work and train it to London, about three hours each way. But of course it's a small price to pay.

It is the same for me. I live about 50 minutes away for me. I've recently started taking the train myself because my husband's holidays were finishing. Tomorrow I have a longer day with an ultrasound and then the clinic so my husband will take me.

How come you're still on 2 monthly appointments?

I'm a bit disappointed that I'm still on 10mg of prograf. It is causing insomnia and not to mention the endless infections I've been getting.

No quarterly appointments. I'm not sure why they haven't been reduced to 6 monthly because I've not had any issues at all. I suspect it might be because I was on a medical trial so they want to keep an eye on things. Also I think due to the trial I've been able to drop prograf completely, and I'm on small doses of sirolimus instead, which I think is less toxic.

That's very interesting that you're not on prograf. How much of the other anti rejection do you take? I do believe some of my gastric issues are from the high dose of prograf. I was on azathioprine too which sent my white blood count and red blood count into the low end quite dramatically!

great news. I was there yesterday. Saw the surgeon then had to go to the other side of the hospital for a pre op. Very long day x

oh im back in clinic for my liver 14th March. When are you there next? X

Hello all,

jojokarak, always good to hear good news.

Had my routine clinic on the 7th - no phone call, so all must be well. Next appointment is now 4 months which will be 15 months post op.

By the way, Joe, you've inspired me. I'm now going to the gym twice a week and getting my bike fixed for the summer.

Thank you hunni x hope your OK x

Dearest JoJo,

For the first time in 5 years my husband was given his next appointment in 3 months as opposed to the weekly/fortnightly ones we are so used to!

You are right - we have spent almost all important days and times in hospital and want to be able to actually celebrate

Here's wishing you all the best hun!

Pear

Thanks pear and over the moon for your husband it feels like a weight is lifted when the appointments have a longer space, makes you feel more confident about getting on and enjoying life after so long x
