Praise for "Graft Versus Host Disease: Living With the After Effects of Bone Marrow/Stem Cell Transplant"
 "This is a landmark endeavor. A must read for every patient! The information is comprehensive, relevant, and understandable. My hat is off to all the contributors." From Jim Engelman MD, both a HSCT survivor and doctor "This book is such a wonderful education for all of us. Thank you for putting in the work. I'm sure this project was quite a chore." -Michelle Ridgeway BSN GVHD RN, Northside Hospital, A LINK partner "GVHD book is such a wonderful resource for patients and caregivers. It is a very unique product." -Dr. Steven Pavletic, MD, National Cancer Institute, National Institute of Health "People are starving for information about GVHD. It is very informative." -Elise, A Caregiver "I love it. I told my husband he needs to wait his turn to read it. Our daughter Hope had a bone marrow transplant three years ago and is doing just great. This book is really terrific and much needed!" -Nancy Sovran, mother of a young bone marrow transplant recipient "The GVHD book that you sent is wonderful! What a great resource for patients and caregivers. It is so thorough and detailed.
