My wife's hematologist said that post-transplant cataracts are common, but as a result of radiation. Prednisone's known side effects include effects on vision, but I never heard mention of cataracts, nor of ulcers, so I'm surprised to hear what you were told.

Nobody wants to stay on prednisone longer than necessary, but when it's necessary for immunosuppression after a transplant the risk of doing without it usually outweighs the risks of its various possible side effects, most of which are livable, treatable, or temporary.

I'm sorry you've had these effects.
