Where did your husband have his BMT?

Wife of Diver Down, I'm sorry your husband is having these issues and hope he overcomes them. Where did your husband have his BMT?. Protocols are different.. Some might use morphine, some what Danl said. photopheresis in layman's terms means blood is irradiated/exposed to light with specific wavelengths then returned to the patient.

Photopheresis is currently standard therapy approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Evidence suggests that this treatment might be effective in the treatment of graft-versus-host disease, though this evidence is largely observational and controlled trials are needed to support this use.

I wish you and your husband all the best
