GVHD

Still no chemo ... have GVHD (graft vs host disease) and have to get that under control first. Skin rash, dry/sore mouth and eyes and problems with the liver. On a hefty dose of prednisone and that has relieved the skin, mouth and eyes but the liver hasn't responded yet so have to add some more immunosuppressant drugs. Just hoping that suppressing the immune system won't stop the GVD (graft vs disease) fight that we hope kicked in when the chemo gave Grant's graft a chance to take hold. Frustrating but hanging in there. Still requiring regular red cell transfusions etc. Have been getting out and about a bit when the counts are up. - a day at the beach in Carmel and a visit to see the guys at work.
