RE: CMV Barb, athan, any other post tx

Barb, Jonathon,

Was Valcyte not an automatic part of your post transplant meds?

I was actually given valcyte for about 8 months post transplant.

Actually many of my meds post tx were precautionary.

I wonder if there is that many difference from center to center.

My donor had cmv but i did not have it pre and do not show any signs

post. My understanding was that it was common to take Valcyte for 3

months post tx no matter whether your donor had cmv or not.

I was on it (and several others) for 3 months post tx. I think that a

sore (a pimple that got infected) behind my ear may have run me down

enough to give the CMV it's chance.
