This month, we will discuss about acute Graft Versus Host Disease (aGVHD).

Dr. Vo will cover the common symptoms, how to diagnose, how to treat and what you need to do to prevent this complication.
As well, Lisa Loutzenhiser, an AML survivor since early 2020 will share her personal experience and valuable tips regarding acute issues. The nbmtLINK’s licensed staff social worker, Jennifer Gillette will facilitate the program. There will also be plenty of time for live questions.
