Hi, Merrie!
Thank you very much for your thoughtful response. My husband read it, also. His greatest concerns with the stem cell transplant is about dealing with the cognitive changes & the time away from work. He’s convinced that the best route for him is CAR T.
We have his next oncologist appointment in January, so we will learn more at that time.
Thank you again for your message. I wish you all the best!

@cjj2, any changes in getting access to CAR-T therapy?

I wonder if you might also enlist the help of your husband's cancer care team, including an oncology social worker. As you can read in this blog post, oncology social workers can be liaison to treatment access:

How are you and your husband doing?
