Thank you for the reply. Today is Day 7 and having all the symptoms that would be anticipated. She keeps having spikes with her fevers which bring on the chills and fatigue also. My mom is very petite and didn't have much 'reserve' to begin with. So its been scary. She is in excellent care at Station 7-3 I know. Its been personally very difficult not seeing her. The care team updates me daily and encourages me to call anytime, so it's good to know this.

Hello @sunnyd
Just checking in to see how you are are doing.
It is my hope that your mom is progressing as expected.
How are you and your mom doing?
I hope that at this time you are able to be physically together which I know is extremely important to you.
Take care.

Hello @sunnyd - Thanks for the update.
Car-T can be quite harsh, given the fact that most of us have to undergo at least types of treatment prior to qualifying for Car- T, I hope that criteria can change in the future. I would have to say I was at my lowest point prior to the infusion as well.
I am no scientist, so there is likely a real need to try and eradicate as much of the cancer prior to receiving treatment.
I concur she will be receiving excellent care at 7-3.
Not getting to see her I am sure must be difficult, thankfully in this day and age it is easy to stay in contact with the care team to receive an update.
Take care and I wish you and your mom all the best.
