BMT: Anyone had Jakafi for GVHD Treatment?
I had a bone marrow transplant 2 years ago, but I’ve had high liver enzymes this summer and last summer due to GVHD. I was treated with high doses of Prednisone and eventually they went back to normal. However, I’m now being put on Jakafi to treat the GVHD, along with Cressemba antifungal (instead of Micafungin). Has anyone taken Jakafi and/or Cressemba? I’m wondering if this is a common treatment, if it was effective, and if you had any side effects.

My husband is on day +44 of BMT. He has had his Jakafi tapered slowly as a GVHD preventive. So far, so good. No side effects and no GVHD. I am interested in the response to this question as well as we go forward. Thank you.
