My mom was 65 when she underwent everything. She had a rare type of B-Cell Lymphoma (double HIIT). There was risk going into it being she had cancer in her brain and literally every area and appendage and bone in her body. The reoccurrence after her stem cell was worse than the initial cancer. However, She didn’t have a sign of it when the car-T treatment was over. Truly a miracle.

I still lost my mom. But it was from the countless amounts of chemotherapy and treatments she had prior to CAR-T. It sounds like more people are getting this immunotherapy treatment offered sooner than later;not as a last chance result. She basically formed a secondary leukemia and her bone marrow could not produce health functioning blood anymore.

Every persons story is different and how they came to this treatment option. I truly believe if she was offered this sooner, I would still have her. It sounds like you took the Stem Cell quite well, which is great news. And your numbers are still ‘low’ to where adverse effects will hopefully be at a minimum. Mom had a lot of salvage chemo before hand and methotrexate to get the tumors down to get the immunotherapy induced. It was a literally day by day scenario to get it done.

I could ramble on but if you ever have more questions, happy to help. My story is one that is remembered there 😉 I’m happy you have the time to talk and ask questions. Knowledge is power 🙂
