Well...I'm back in the hospital for a bit. They're trying to get my GVHD (graft versus host disease) under control. They know what to do, and it's pretty high tech. They're using a photopheresis machine to take blood out of me, separate my cells, add a light sensitive drug, then put them under UV light, and put them back into me. A little like dialysis. They don't really know just how this works, but it does. It kills a few cells, and calms down the rest. On top of a pretty big rash, the new cells are hitting my liver and my GI tract. And this machine works on it all. Fingers crossed...but the docs are totally confident in this procedure.I just want you to know wazzup. At least I had nearly a week at home. Keep loving each other.......
