Welcome to Connect, @shop516 I’m so glad you joined the forum. It can feel pretty lonely and overwhelming going into a procedure such as this without anyone to talk about the experience. We have a growing number of CAR-T members who will be able to answer some of your questions. I’m going to tag fellow recipients or caregivers @kirkwilliams2049 @denisej4032 @burchfield to get you started…

I don’t know where you’re having your procedure but I do have some information for you from Mayo Clinic. It’s a guide for caregivers and patients regarding bone marrow transplants and CAR-T. Take your time and pursue the entire site. If it doesn’t open in CAR-T, scroll down past Autologous and Allogenic transplants. It’s right after those:

If you don’t mind sharing, what illness led you to requiring CAR-T?
