I have been on MM(Myfortic Acid/ Mycophenolate) 180 mg twice daily for four years. I am five years after single lung transplant at the University of Maryland Medical Center, Baltimore. Cellcept was giving me minor stomach problems. It was changed to Mycophenolate some 4+ years ago. It has not given me any problems so far. Good luck.

Dear Friends: I am 76 years old now. I had a single lung transplant in February 2020 just before Covid pandemic started here. The surgery went well and recovery was gradual. I was released ten days after surgery. My wife was by my side always. I was happy to have been blessed with a second life. My outlook completely changed and I started… Read more

Dear Gary:

Thanks for your post. I presume you are now Covid-free. I am post- transplant and do not take Ofev. I have to take three anti- rejection drugs-Tacrolimus, Myfortic, and Prednisone along with a few others including antibiotics.

How long ago were you diagnosed with IPF?
Ofev did not at all work for me. I had single lung transplant… Read more

  1. Thanks for your advice. Yes, we shall try to observe utmost care and act on these points.
  2. Did you need any oxygen in flight? How long was the flight? I did not need any in a 2-hour flight to Keywest. Now it would be 7 hour to London and then after two day break 9 hour to Bombay.
  3. How long after your transplant the rejection started?…

Hello Forum Member Friends:

I had single lung transplant in February 2020 at the University of Maryland Medical Center after being rejected by Inova Fairfax Hospital.

The journey since then has been made possible due to the excellent care I received from the doctors and health care staff at the university and God’s grace. I owe my life to… Read more

Thanks for your help. I am hoping Ofev will slow down the fibrosis process. Also looking for new drug trials.
