Confirmed GVHD after second DLI

Just sharing some good news received today. I have GVHD (skin and mouth). Since I relapsed last year this is good news.

Best from me to all forum members!

Dear John... this is a good sign given you have only needed 2 DLI's to produce signs that you have had an immune response- i.e graft versus leukamia (GVL).
I do hope the GVHD is not too unpleasant... as you might remember I had to have 4 DLI's in total before I had the desired GVL- interestingly I don't think I ever had signs of GVHD- but 50,000 donor lymphocytes was the dose I needed to see my CML cells disappear.
Do you know the number of donor lymphs in this second DLI?

Best wishes,
Sandy
