My husband is getting ready for Car-T and BMT shortly after. It’s a heartbreaking situation overall. And all too uncertain. We will pray your son’s cancer is at the very least controllable. Hard enough going through it with my husband, can’t imagine with my child. But stay strong for a positive outcome.

Welcome to Mayo Connect, @gmacd. Wow, your husband is running the gamut of complex genetic transplantations. As mentor for the BMT/CAR-T therapy group, I’m really interested in learning more about your husband and his diagnoses that have him receiving both CAR-T and a BMT. I know each therapy can have benefits but are not interchangeable for some types of blood cancer. Does he have multiple blood disorders?
This is challenging for both your husband and yourself. As patients, we pretty much go along for the ride. But our caregivers take the brunt of the stress/worry and taking on both ‘divisions of labor’ from the household.
There are many members in the forum who have gone along a similar journey. We’re here to offer support and answer questions about anything that pops up. I had a BMT almost 7 years ago which gave me a 2nd chance at life. While these procedures aren’t a walk on the beach they can be gifts of life! Is there any information I can provide for you? What is the timeline for your husband’s procedures? Has a donor been found for the BMT?
