I am Interested in Transplant Friends because...
I recently had a heart transplant. I need to listen and talk with friends who really know what I am going through after the transplant. Most of all I would like to be there for any one else that is waiting to get on the list or someone that is on the list. Maybe I could be of some help to them
Which Transplant Center has or will perform your life saving surgery?
Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina
Share how your transplant experience changed your life?
I am now able to do normal things that I couldn't do before. I have hope for a future. I can now see my grandchildren grow.

It's partly an age thing. I'm 70. My cardiologist said as you get older, your immune system weakens, and you may not need as much immunosuppressant. Of course, if I get a bad biopsy, they will adjust. My biopsies have been zero's and one's. They are doing just biopsies on me so far, once every 3 months in year 2.
I was CMV negative, my donor CMV positive, so I guess it was not completely unexpected. I send them blood samples a couple of times in between my visits, that's how they picked it up. I was just there last week for a checkup, waiting to hear the results, and any med changes.
