I saw my oncologist at University of Maryland today and discussed the consultation I had in Seattle, including some clinical trials I'm considering. She suggested that, in addition to trying to determine what studies might offer the most promise for long term relapse-free survivability, I should inquire about incidence and severity of chronic GVHD for study participants for the various pre-transplant conditioning regimens (i.e., different types, doses, and combinations of chemo, radiation, etc.).

I'm looking at the usual resources and references and also searching the web for relevant studies, but I also wondered if anyone here could offer insights regarding chronic gvhd, either from personal experience or in discussions with their own medical professionals.

Thanks for any info!
