24 month post transplant check up

Well 23 months strictly speaking. I had a scan the other day and a full set of blood tests. I saw my lovely Dr Z, the liver guy, today who said all is ok ๐Ÿ˜. Infact possibly a little better than the last time I saw him ๐Ÿ˜‡. The only slight question is my thyroid, the T S H is a little high but that we'll check in a few months.

Very relieved. No reason why there should be a problem but as we all know the liver hides itโ€™s problems and there are often no signs. This means the drs need to do the bloods and scans just to make sure. Didnโ€™t even do a fibroscan. Last yr, post scan he did as he didnโ€™t trust the scan. This yr the scan was perfect but heโ€™d asked for an appointment with his preferred dr so trusted the result.

Anyway, everything is good so Iโ€™m feeling pretty happy ๐Ÿคฉ.

Hope all is ok with you

We certainly do, but makes us extra careful which isn't a bad thing x but so glad you can breathe a sigh of relief x

Well done Isabelle.

Have they lowered your tacrolimus at all? I am now 30 months post and am now on 1mg twice a day. I'm looking to reduce this to half a tablet, but not due in clinic again until August.

Go out and celibate.

Wow, I was on 6.5 then about 8 mths ago down to 6 and as of today 5. Despite the heavy dose of tac i think Iโ€™m the healthiest ever concerning colds, tummy upsets etc. Not one in 23 months.

I hope you donโ€™t think I should be celibate! I hope to celebrate ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ
