Yesterday I saw Dr. Jain at the Illinois Eye Institute in Chicago. This is the Dr. that my transplant MD said is very good and he will tell me without a doubt if my eye issues are graft vs host or something else. Well Dr. Jain found that I have graft vs host in both eyes. He put me on different meds than my local eye MD had me on and also changed the type of contact I wear. He also said I need to wear contacts in both eyes to protect them. Nice to finally know what it is and to have a Dr. that has dealt with graft vs host of the eye often, taking care of my treatment. Hopefully better feeling eyes are coming my way :)
God Bless,

Scott, even though you never respond to my posts, I have to assume that you read them. I check on you on a regular basis, because I admire your strength to fight the good fight. The GVHD trail is a very complicated path to follow…lots of traps and turns in a scary dark ride scenario. I hope things are going well at the moment…the moment is all any of us can really depend on! God bless you in the fight against AML. You're a contender…or as Rocky would say, a "con-ten-da!" "Cut me!…"
ReplyDeleteSherry, I was responding by email and I guess that doesn't work. I appreciate your comments and encouragement. My prayers are with you for health and peace.
