David Goodman commented on Lili Feldman's group The Funny Bone"My wife found out that our dog (a Schnauzer) could hardly hear, so she took it to the veterinarian.

David Goodman commented on TransplantCafe.com's group Team Prograf"Dottie,
If your doc write BS/BS and specifies that you need prograf, not a generic med, they will back down. It's up to a doc to decide. All generic meds aren't the same as the name brand. At MGH they prefer prograf, although they said…"
Carlos commented on TransplantCafe.com's group Team Prograf"Hi Dottie, congratulations on your transplant. I have 10 years on my new liver this month. You have a new organ for only a few years. I would suggest you keep a spreadsheet of your labs as far back as you can so you can notice any…"

Laura posted a discussionHere we go again....and again!
So I had my first liver tx in 2005 (living donor) and had bile duct issues. I had a 2nd tx March 16th and have bile duct problems yet again and now I'm faced with needing a 3rd tx. Has anyone out there had 3 transplants? I've been stuck in hospital since March and the doctors want to send me home...even though I still require IV antibiotics and a VACC system. My family and I are quite nervous.
