Thanks Lori! - It's actually my mom. Thank you for bringing @4health4bonnie into this conversation - congratulations on what sounds like a positive update! We just had the initial conversation with transplant surgeon around CAR-T but do have a second opinion scheduled a week from today just to get another set of eyes on the file and give some input. Assuming no new information is gathered from that, we will begin scheduling the pre-tests and navigating insurance approval for CAR-T likely next week.

I am finally home! I am 78 and in fairly good health except for MM. i feel very lucky that I had a Crs reaction after my car t, but so far nothing else major. I had fatigue and lightheadedness in the first thirty days. I had some. digestive upset. I am immune compromised, and I had to have a few growth factor shots in the last 60 days. . Now my platelets are normal. My neutrophils are much better. I guess I am still immune compromised because I have no B cells (they can take a year to come back), and with MM you usually are. I have to be careful and wear a mask at the store and stay away from sick people. My myeloma was 50 per cent better after thirty days which is common . My doctors are pleased. I had high disease burden. They expect me to get better and better in the next few months. I still expect to be in total remission! I feel more normal now, but I am slightly anemic, so by the end of the day I get tired. My experience with Car T has been very good. I am very grateful.
