I was on a 10 mg lozenge of Clotrimazole, an anti-fungal, for about 2 months; Valganciclovir 450mg (anti-viral to prevent CMV) for 3 months; and Bactrim 400-80mg for 6 months to prevent pneumocystis pneumonia. They discontinued the Mycophenolate after two months because I got leukopenia and had to have two shots to stimulate the production of white blood cells. It sure hasn't been a joy ride, but I'm alive and I'm grateful for that!
