Congrats on your 6 year anniversary, that's tremendous!

My oncologist did mention the possibility of harvesting my stem cells after I went into remission, however, MRD blood test still showed 0.34% mantle cells circulating so the idea of harvesting was ruled out. I am being monitored every 6 months with blood tests and an MRD test.

Beside CAR-T, I've been told the results coming back about clinical trials for targeted immunotherapies are encouraging which one would potentially be able to avoid chemo or a SCT.

My juicer brand is Tefal.

Fingers crossed for a clean MRD! There’s been so much ongoing R&D in the field of blood cancers with gene modification and targeted immunotherapies! It would be wonderful if you were a candidate for one of these therapies. Have you had an MRD run since completing the radiation?
