Hector, I haven't seen you post lately. Haven't posted much myself as of late. I was wondering how you are doing. I go for my 4 wk post tx test tomorrow and am not looking forward to the results. I know you and I are in the same boat and was wondering what your dr has you doing now? Hope all is well with you.
