Hello Merrle,
I am 1 year out from my Car T infusion to treat MM. I am in a clinical trial and received the Car T as an upfront treatment. So no stem cell transplant. So this may not be pertinent to your situation. My first bone marrow biopsy came back MRD negative so I am in complete remission. I did not have any maintenance therapy. So far so good. During my hospital stay following the infusion I had 2 mild fevers and no other side effects. I do have neuropathy in my feet but it began before the infusion. I read all of the possible side effects and decided that the outcomes with Car T were so much better than anything else available at the time that it was an easy decision. Hope this helps and best wishes.
