My hope has lied with Jesus since day one, GVHD or not. My message to all who deal with it is continue the fight, submit to the process, be diligent with what Dr's tell you. You can get through it, regardless of severity. You are alive!!! Even if it's a life long thing , you can endure and get through it!! You are alive !! If you aren't a believer in Jesus Christ, maybe put your faith in him and see how it works out for you. Having had gvhd three times has been challenging and a journey but again, I am alive! You with the Dr's can get through it and even if u have to deal with gvhd of some kind for the rest of your life, you couldn't be in better hands than City of Hope!! God bless all yall.

It's affected my body but not my life. God is good!! I still go out and do side hustles. The sexual dysfunctionality was hard to get through with my wife but the Dr's at city of hope rectified that. They are amazing!! 
I had GVHD of the skin and liver and now the mouth. Mucositis has been about 4 months now but slowly healing. Jesus saved my life and healed the MDS in April 2023. No more cancer!! Back to gvhd ....I have managed with it very well thanks to the Dr's and my NP Rachel Davidians. Thank you Jesus my gvhd hasn't ever been that severe. 
So bottom line , how is it affecting my life? It hasn't been a major detriment and times when it was, it was quickly rectified. Gvhd of the mouth affected me and hot sauce . Couldn't and can't have what I normally would very much enjoy but hey the tradeoff, I'm alive!! I will take that all day long!! 😁😇
