I wanted to give you all a day #45 update. Although Graydon is 25lbs lighter and weak, his counts are stable enough to be “discharged” from the Mayo . We are overwhelmed with gratitude and grateful we will be home for Thanksgiving. Dr. Ansell yesterday he said the PET scan and bone marrow biopsy results are encouraging. He thinks Graydon’s lag in bouncing back is due to the accumulated impact of chemotherapy/radiation he has endured over the last 3 years. Dr. Ansell described the situation in terms of a football analogy—“it is like you have just caught a Hail Mary pass in the end zone—you made the touchdown, but you got piled on and the wind kicked out of you.” So we need to regroup, enjoy the holidays, and be grateful that we have gotten to this point. Thanks to each of you for the help and advice you have given us through the Mayo Connect portal. We have greatly appreciated it. Hope we can continue to add to the CAR T community with our experience. Special thanks to @annmillercarr, @raemark2010 , @colleenyoung
