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

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.
