As if it isn't difficult enough to get an organ transplant, but the medication taken afterwards can have some heavy side effects, including increasing the risk of skin cancer.
That's why dermatologist Dr. Chi Ho Hong is speaking about the post transplant medications in Langley on Monday, Oct. 29 at Township Hall's Fraser River Presentation Centre at 7 p.m.
This free talk is put on by the Fraser Valley Transplant Networt. Organ donor Tanya Tait and transplant recipients Township councillor Charlie Fox and Langley's Todd Hauptman are expected to speak as well
