Thanks for your very encouraging message. My husband’s doctor is one of the top researchers in the world for multiple myeloma. The doctor’s second appeal to insurance for the CAR T treatment was also denied.
At this time, it seems that a clinical trial may be the only way to go for CAR T. We have an appointment with my husband’s doctor in a couple of weeks, so we’ll see what options we have. My husband’s chemo isn’t working anymore, and he has multiple adverse side effects on Revlimid.

I have no idea why an insurance company wouldn’t cover this treatment for your husband. Please look into Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto. They run multiple clinical trials. They are a world class research center. Our doctor at the mayo clinic told us to go to Princess Margaret for treatment.
