@gmacd I am glad Car-T is going well for your husband! I can’t even imagine how disappointing it is to relapse. I had my BMT for AML 9.5 years ago and for a while lived in fear of a relapse. Fortunately, after dealing with severe GVHD during my first year, I have only had one major flare up since then. I have been cancer-free since my transplant.

There are so many unknowns on this journey! Wishing your husband all the best as he finds the treatment that works!

@alive Thanks so much for your encouragement. So far the Car-T has been almost side effect free and, other than the platelets, he's doing very well. They do want to do a BMT shortly after which is quite a big move. I'm so glad to see your BMT has done so well for you, it does help gather all the info we need to make decisions.
Unknowns is an understatement! But I'm learning to take things in stride.
