My wife is finishing a 17 day therapy session for MM using Car-T infusion after 3 days of chemo infusion. Results have been positive. Numbers are coming up and Docs are encouraged. This fairly new therapy for MM was a bit scary at first but good doctors and nurses have given tremendous support. We also do Immunotherapy once weekly at home, required indefinitely.

Welcome @a621030! This is wonderful news you’re sharing about your wife’s response, so far, with the CAR-T infusion for her MM! CAR-T therapy has been a tremendous breakthrough in longer remissions and care for patients with multiple myeloma.
You’re right, it is a bit scary to be involved in a relatively new treatment. But the success rate has been so encouraging.

How long has your wife had MM? What treatments were tried previously?
