Molly Gallogly, MD, PhD, Attending Physician, and director of the Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) program at the Seidman Cancer Center in Cleveland, OH, is one busy doctor.

A detailed head-to-toe exam and full skin exam are standard and each GVHD patient is accurately staged and graded.
We will learn about the importance of a symptom diary, and help you anticipate potential side effects from steroids. ("Buy one get three free"-you'll want to hear what that means.) Dr. Gallogly compares GVHD to a storm at sea.
Clinical trials can be a revolving door. You can't help but feel the excitement learning more about them.
And don't forget slow and steady wins the race. Listen in for many more tips sure to make you feel better educated and equipped to deal with GVHD.
