I have officially started Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) treatment for my skin GvHD. Every Wednesday and Thursday for the next 6 months or so I will go to Toronto General Hospital to receive treatments. The treatment itself only takes 2 hours, as long as everything goes smoothly. I felt slightly lightheaded and tired during but no other side effects. The IV sites are a little tender which will probably get worse as treatment progresses but it’s much better than having a PICC line. After treatments I must protect my eyes and skin from the sun/light. My Dad brought me to my first appointment so I could see how I felt after treatment and if I would be able to drive. After my first appointment we walked around the Eaton Center before going out for dinner. As much as I’ve been dreading this treatment, it was nice to have him there. He definitely made it more enjoyable.
