Using Prograf may increase your risk of developing definite types of cancer, especially skin cancer. The risk may be higher within people who are treated over long period of time with drugs that destabilize the immune system. Talk with your doctor around your individual risk.
Avoid exposure to sunlight or artificial UV rays (sunlamps or tanning beds). Use a sunscreen (minimum SPF 15) and wear protective clothing if you must be out in the sun.
To be sure this medication is not cause harmful effects, your blood will want to be tested on a regular basis. Your kidney or liver function may also have need of to be tested. It is important that you not miss any programmed visits to your doctor.
Your mum's doctor will determine whether it is safer to appropriate the drug (and not reject the liver - she can't live without one) and be observant for adverse effects or cease the drug and lose the liver. Most culture do pretty well and after 12 years seem your mum is one of those that does well.
