Well - this isn't what I planned...

Graft Versus Host Disease

Error

I am a survivor of both NH Lymphoma and AL Leukemia. I had a bone marrow transplant in November of 2011. My sister was my donor and a perfect match. Six months post transplant I developed chronic GVHD. I have lost range of movement in my knees and elbows. I have GVHD in my liver, colon, throat, lungs, skin, mouth, eyes - basically - EVERYWHERE! I see small improvements in my condidition - but it is baby steps.

I am a single mother of three amazing kids. My oldest is away at college and I have one child in high school and another in middle school. I am not able to work.
