My husband is receiving ECP treatment for GVHD after suffering with non Hodgkins lymphoma for 10 years. 

He has to be on  steriods along with Cyclisporine for 6 months now but he's a night mare to live with.....

How do I cope...

He's so aggressive...

  • Hi , sorry to hear about the problems you both are having with the treatment your husband is going through. I had a quick look at the advice page on steroids here and the main advice seems to be to speak to the oncology team about this to see if there can be some changes made.

  • Hi , sorry to hear what you're going through, it might help to pop into the Stem Cell Transplant Group where you will find others in a similar situation who share your experience. It might also help to find a local cancer carers group where you can get face to face support which can make a huge difference.

    Hugs,
