Welcome, @johnnyc. I'm sorry to hear that chemotherapy and immunotherapies have not yet produced the results you and your wife were hoping for and that further spread has been detected. That's tough news to get.

There is also a support group here dedicated to CAR-T therapy:

Would your wife be part of a clinical trial for CAR-T cell therapy for her type of cancer?

Always open to a trail if it leads to success. Can you tell me more about the trial?

We have been part of 3 different trials but because of progression (growth), we have been removed from them all. We are currently under a duo treatment of chem + immunotherapy PLUS following her treatment (every 3 weeks) a cancer pack is plugged into her port for 4 days. We will get our first scan while in this treatment in a couple fo weeks. Hope it works cause it's whipping her ass.
