Michael & Ashlee’s Journey | Meredith’s Journey | Connect With the Community

If I could say one thing to people with chronic GVHD, it would be that you are not alone…It may seem like your world has collapsed and fallen apart, but there is hope and there are treatment options out there.

- Michael

Meet Michael and Ashlee


After a bone marrow transplant Michael’s life took an unexpected turn. Chronic GVHD affected his skin, liver and GI system
(stomach and intestines). With the support of his mother,
Ashlee, Michael persevered.


Michael’s journey involves playing guitar, writing, reading
and supporting the chronic GVHD community—it’s a big reason
he and Ashlee became Journey Partners.

THE CAREGIVER PERSPECTIVE


Chronic GVHD affects more than just the patient. Ashlee walks every step alongside Michael and knows that it is crucial for caregivers to also feel supported.

Before cGVHD, I was a surfer. I loved going to the gym, I loved working out, and unfortunately I can’t really do those things anymore. But I have found new things that really keep me happy and occupied, such as playing guitar, writing, reading, doing a podcast with my mom.

If I were talking to a caregiver of someone with chronic GVHD disease, my biggest message to you would be patience. It’s not easy…But I really do believe that going day by day has been a blessing for us and that we appreciate every day so much more.

Once I realized I wasn’t the only one going through cGVHD, becoming a Journey Partner with Sanofi really was something I had to do. Just knowing that I’m helping the right people is just so beautiful. You can’t put it into words.

After surviving a cancer diagnosis and a bone marrow transplant, chronic GVHD hit like a sucker punch. I am so grateful that what initially seemed like a big hurdle is now yet another obstacle I am able to manage.

- Meredith

Meet Meredith


Just as Meredith graduated from college, chronic GVHD changed her plans for the future. cGVHD affected her lungs, skin and eyes. With the guidance of her health care team, Meredith’s treatment journey eventually led her to a different option: REZUROCK.


Little by little, Meredith is reclaiming her life by turning her experience with chronic GVHD into a mission to help others stay positive throughout their journeys.

I’ve noticed that there’s a lot of things to be happy for and grateful for … walking in the fall with the leaves crunching, the smell of someone having a bonfire. There’s little things that I wouldn’t think twice about before.

I’ve been trying to get back into yoga. I’m a beginner in it, but that has been something that’s been helping me alleviate stress. Hobbies are all about trying to find ways to just decompress. And so anything I can do to do that, it’s huge.

 

MEREDITH

I got my Great Pyrenees Nova before my transplant. I love her. She's helped me through a lot, and I could not be happier that I got her. She knows when I’m not feeling well. She knows when I’m sad, and she just sticks by my side like I super glued her to my leg. She’s amazing.
