Hello @dbthemathteacher - Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
As someone who has received Car T therapy, I am happy for you that you have been scheduled for treatment, it can be very rewarding after going through many previous types of treatments.
From what I understand, the recovery time can differ greatly between patients, age, physical condition all play a part in the recovery I was told. I personally would not have been able to teach a class 2 months after treatment. (Though it would not surprise me if some have) I am from an older demographic however which can be a factor in speed of recovery. (I was still very weak physically and psychologically at that point)
I encourage others following this site to help you with information they can share of their experiences with Car T.
When are you scheduled for your infusion?
Keep in touch and take care.
Bob

We are still in the insurance approval stage, but I am expecting to probably be in the hospital the first part of January receiving the T-cells back. I’m 54 and pretty well recovered from the BMT 3 yrs ago, so I’m hoping I’m strong enough to be back at the school in March. Even if not near full strength, at least hopefully strong enough to teach virtually.
