I have heard 1 3 and 5 years to fully recover. I am 3.5 years and still fighting GVHD.
I saw the following on the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society site - Typically, after a year or so, your body will form new T lymphocytes from the engrafted donor cells. The newly formed lymphocytes won't attack your cells, and immunosuppressive therapy can be stopped. Your immune system can work efficiently to protect against infections, and your risk of infection begins to approach that of a healthy person. This "state of tolerance" between the donor immune cells and your cells is important for long-term transplant success.
I wish there were a way to speed the new T cells up.
