@jrbris23, welcome. There are several members I can connect you with who have talked about CAR-T therapy for multiple myeloma like @4health4bonnie @cjj2 @pgollinger @myelomawarrior.
While we wait for them to jump into the discussion, you might be interested in reading this related discussion:

Jrbris23, I can imagine how frustrating it must be to consider embarking on another arduous journey after already having had a stem cell transplant just over a year ago. Thank goodness CAR-T therapy is now a viable option.
Are you scheduled to start CAR-T or is this something you're still considering?

What has been people’s response to car T cell collection. We’ve been told she should feel ok after collection for the few weeks before chemo/infusion. Has this been your experience @4health4bonnie?

Thank you Colleen. It is for my mom who underwent ASCT last March and as of a month ago light chains were trending back up. We have had the first conversation with oncology and transplant surgeon about CAR-T but have a second opinion appt scheduled in two weeks to gather more information. CAR T seems to be the suggested next step but I’m trying to get educated to help advocate for her
