Hi @burchfield. Welcome to Connect. This is such a great forum to be able to speak candidly with other members who are going along the same medical journey. I’m so happy you joined into the conversation with @cdsarmiento. Her husband was 84 at the time of his CAR-T Stem Cell implant and continues to do really well 2+ years later. May I ask the age of your husband? What medical condition brought him to needing the CAR-T therapy?

I wish him well. While in the hospital he will be carefully monitored and have the attention of his full Care Team at all times. One interesting part of the treatment. They will have your husband answer some simple questions (like identify simple objects, count backwards from 100 by 7, etc.) They also had him write a simple sentence that he chooses. They had him do this about every 4 hours. This showed them any changes in brain function.
Reaction to the treatment varies by person, but the Care Team responds to anything that comes up. Focus on those CAR T-cells attacking his cancer. It is truly amazing. Good luck!
