@bangobingo Welcome to Mayo Connect, along with a congratulations on your CAR-T cell therapy! There are so many wonderfully positive stories from lymphoma patients receiving this treatment and yours is another! So thank you for sharing with the group! While the early days can be uncomfortable they are quickly forgotten when life returns to a level of certainty and normalcy again. Three months and you are now back up to speed! That’s fantastic. Sticking around to see your granddaughters get married and to see some cute little great grand-babies are strong motivators!

How frequently do you return for follow-ups with your oncologist?
