Hi @oregonami58 Joining @gingerwhite in welcoming you to Connect in another post where you mentioned having MM that required an autologous stem cell transplant a few years ago.

Now it looks as though you may be a candidate for CAR-T therapy, which is really gaining ground in the treatment of MM. So welcome and keep us posted. Sharing your experiences with MM, Auto-transplant and CAR-T will really be helpful and encouraging to many others in the same situation. Do you have a potential timeline for CAR-T?

Thanks for the introduction.
I was looking for group forum online and this one looks well attended and organized so kudos to everyone maintaining this service!
I was told that my revlimid treatment had not run its full course of efficacy having been interrupted in 2017 for sst procedure. Doc at OHSU said I have to continue updated rev/kyprolis to completion then will be eligible for car-t. Obviously I hope current treatment lasts as long as possible in order to extend disease suppression.
My question is at what point does age limit car-t eligibility if, God willing, I keep plugging away successfully on kyp/rev?
