My husband has Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC). As the result of Prograf immuno-suppression, it has flourished. He has had radiation and numerous surgeries since summer of 2015 - including resection of the scalp (replaced with graft).

Last summer (2016) he was weaned from Prograf in order to restore immune system to fight the cancer. The doctors have refused to replace the Prograf with Sirolimus citing wound healing as the reason.

Wondering if anyone here has had issues with wound healing while on Sirolimus? Seems that a lot of people take it.

Sorry to hear about your husbands health troubles. Yes Sirolimus is a drug that slows down wound healing.
