@gmacd With all that’s happening regarding the CAR-T and eventual BMT, I’m relieved that your husband (and you) are in the hands of the outstanding teams at Mayo Clinic. I’m a little biased because I wouldn’t be here without the life saving care of my BMT team at Mayo Rochester.
There are several members in the forum who have received CAR-T therapy. Most recently @4health4bonnie shares her experiences with CAR-T for her MM. Other members include @kirkwilliams2049 @denisej4032 and many others in this discussion.

I understand how daunting this all is. If there’s anything I can help you with just give me a poke! ☺️
One question for you…is your husband having an actual bone marrow transplant using cells from a donor. Or is he having an ASCT (autologous stem cell transplant) using his own cells?

@loribmt he is getting donor cells for his BMT. They’re looking for matches now. He had an autologous stem cell transplant about 7-8 years ago for the MM. He actually did pretty well handling the procedure. It wasn’t great, but also not awful. Praying for the same with the BMT.
