another update on GVHD

First of all I had my first rebirth-day on October 11 and I am 100% donor

I felt great on the Prednisone - no more dry mouth, eyes, skin, swelling ankles. I felt less fatigue and actually had some energy. However, when I started tapering off the Prednisone, the symptoms came back. My oncologist is adding another immunosupressant (CellCept (mycophenolate mofetil) plus more anti-fungal medication in the hope that I can taper of the Prednisone.

I've been taking the Cellcept for a few days now and don't feel better yet.

I'll just have to wait and see what happens.
