Hello, @jaler - this Mayo Clinic information may be helpful to explain CAR-T cell therapy https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/car-t-cell-therapy-program/sections/gnc-20405215

Also, @annmillercarr shared some of her husband's experience here in this discussion (click on VIEW & REPLY in your email to get to the whole discussion), and hoping she will return to talk with you more about this therapy. @cindylb
@smokie @grandpabob @grannybrenda @greta_k @1nan also may have some information to share on this treatment.

@jaler - is CAR-T cell therapy a treatment your doctor is considering for you at this time?

Thank you, Lisa.

Hello @jaler. I hope you have read my description earlier on this web. If you have, and have more questions, please ask them. Again, CAR-T is rough. But I am hear to tell you it can work. We just returned home from a checkup at Mayo's and all indications are my husband is still in complete remission 13 months after the t-cells were re-infused. He feels fine. However, he is neutropenic, mostly because of a bad case of pneumonia which developed from an RSV infection he contracted at Christmastime. He was anemic and his platelet count was down considerably also afterwards. His platelets are back to normal and he is still slightly anemic, but nothing to get worried about. Those counts have rebounded. After the pneumonia, his white blood cell count was one-tenth of normal. It is now one-half, so it's slowly coming around and the doctors say eventually it will be back in normal range. He just can't get another serious infection or illness right now.
