I am a 17 year survivor and recent my numbers have been steadily rising. I used many diffy chemo regimens. Many worked, for a time. Then, have to change it
Any here trying the CarT therapies? Which one and please described your experience
How long did it work?

Thank you

Hi there - @hthree, I was treated with Car T, Yescarta, for non Hodgkins Large B Cell Lymphoma after several failed attempts with various chemo therapies, I was treated all within 8 months, so chemo failures were very quickly identified.
There were no visible cancer cells after 100 days. Car T treatment was in August of 2018. I had follow up Pet and MRI scans for two years following the Car T infusion, there has been no signs of cancer since. I am currently seeing my Oncologist every 12 months as follows up.
It is my understanding that Car T is now being used as a treatment for more than just blood cancers, what are you currently being treated for?

Hello @hthree. Because you mentioned wanting to connect with others who have experience with CarT Therapies, you will notice I have moved you post into an existing discussion which you can find here:

I'm hoping members @smokie and @grandpabob who have shared in the discussion and who may be able to come back and give some updates on information they know.
Have you just started exploring CarT therapies?
