Yvette Mason replied to Sandra Barber Hughes's discussion 'Night Sweats - Liver Transplants' in the group Liver Transplants"Yes. I experienced it. And I would definitely make sure that you let the doctor know. I ended up with post transplant lymphoma after transplant. Night sweats can be a symptom. It could also have something to do with his meds thought, so again I…"

Rita replied to Yvette Mason's discussion 'Has anyone had menopause since transplant?' in the group Girl Talk"As the saying goes "been there done that". I had no change what so ever in my meds. I really didn't notice any changes at all except for the first time in my life I was warm. I was a bit more assertive too. The hot flashes make you…"

Has anyone had menopause since transplant?
Getting closer and closer to the age of having menopause and have been wondering what it will be like as a transplanted person. Anyone their yet? What has it been like? Has it affected your medications at all? Any rejection?See More

Yvette Mason replied to Chayo's discussion 'I have two questions please.'"Hello Chayo.

Hey there, Yvette! How's it going, my friend? Hope all is well for these days. Wow...from Houston to Philly...you do get around! :) Sounds like your husband is a wonderful man and pastor, and I'm really glad you' ve got each other. I pastored for nearly seven years on my own, and it was a tough, tough road; finally got out, and I don't miss it, but I learned alot through the experience. Anyway, just was thinking about you and thought I'd drop you a line. Dan

Hi Yvette, Thank you for contacting me. God has surely blessed you. I love Baylor Hospital. My heart team and my liver team are great. Yesterday I was in the hospital for a heart cath and a liver cath. I am home today and resting. They increased my dopamine. I hope it takes the fluid off my tummy. I may have to have a tap on my liver. I have 2 legions on my liver. They are just going to wait and do another cat scan in 3 months. Hopefully its not cancer.
I have been on the heart and liver list for over one year now. I am just so happy they didn't keep me yesterday. I feel okay. I just stay very tired all the time. Its getting harder to walk but I keep trying to stay active. I am so happy you are doing so well. It gives me such hope to hang in there. Having a baby after a transplant, what a miracle.
Again thank you for your support and you take care of yourself.
Hugs to you,
Chris
