i am not sure about graft vs. host- there is a lot of stuff i do not know since
i was only 5.
there was not a match so my own marrow was taken out, frozen, then placed back
in my body. let me know if you have any other questions

im very happy for you I know first hand how hard this thing is to fight. my
tumor started in my right hip and mets to left hip, ribs, skull, lungs, spine,
shoulder. they have gotten under control but i could only get 7 rounds of chemo
6 weeks of radiation to the spine and hips. my counts would not come up after
chemo so they stopped. my brother was a six out of six match for this
transplant. did you have a match and how good was the match? did you have any
graft vs host?

and 1 month. this procedure was my last, after chemo, radiation, and surgery.
where is your tumor? mine was in my ribs, but they did radiation to my entire
body- there was mets to my lungs. my best advice is to keep a positive
attitude- they gave me less than a 15% chance to live, but here i am.
write back soon, best of luck.
