My husband is 86 years old and had CAR T-cell therapy (December 2022) at age 84. He did very well and has been in remission ever since…no sign of Lymphoma anywhere. Go for it!

Welcome to Connect, @cdsarmiento. Thank you so much for sharing your husband’s experience with his CAR-T therapy adventure at the age of 84. This is really reassuring and encouraging for anyone who maybe considering the procedure. It’s not an easy journey but well worth the effort to have such a positive outcome and I’m so happy for your husband that he’s doing so well.
Did he have any issues with the pre-conditioning chemo or after the infusion of cells?

Hello. My Lymphoma is Stage II nodular sclerosing Hodgkin which is refractory but stable. It was diagnosed in 2020, so I have been in treatment for four years now. Currently I am being infused with Nivolumab every two weeks and bendamustine every four weeks. Should this regimen either fail or for other reasons need to be changed, I am very interested in CAR-T cell therapy. At age 84, your post gives me encouragement that this may work for me if needed. Thank you for your post and I hope to hear updates!
