Are there long term effects that have been experienced when you have had car t? Are these different depending on what kind of cancer or drug used?
Does life pretty much return to normal? Can you travel and be in crowds? My infusion is March 26. Did everyone not drive for two months? Any long term cognitive effects?

How is your preparation coming along? How soon do you need to be admitted? Are you an inpatient or outpatient for the bulk of the procedure?
