GVHD
I received a bone marrow transplant last year, my sister was my donor, and I have a mild GVHD in my liver. I have medicines to take for that. My friend who had unrelated donor got the skin rash but no other symptoms from GVHD, and my other friend is on the list to receive new lungs as the GVHD hit hard in her lungs. Everyone is different. There is no way to predict if and when and how it will appear, it can be acute or chronic. But do not fear something that you cannot control, and do not research wikipedia or other non major hospital sites, they don't do research they just write topics and sometimes it is not even accurate. Write down questions to take in with you to the doctor visits, write down the answers for later review. Also look up support group communities in your area, they will have a ton of real life experiences to share.
I wish all the best to you and your family.
