@363, it sounds like treatment is working for your sister with tumors shrinking and even disappearing. I know that worry sets in quickly when there is an anomoly on a PET scan. Has she had the biopsy in the meantime? What were the results?

Hi Colleen
Thank you so much for your reply. Yes very worried as now biopsy is scheduled for Jan 31 so we must wait and meeting with her oncologist is on Feb 6. Of course we would have loved CR but praying this new mark is a blood clot or anything but recurrence. Hoping this part remission stays stable but her oncologist considers Car-T a failure but also considers her R-Chop 7 years ago a failure as her cancer came back.

Unfortunately the Car-t failed and the cancer has progressed and new tumors..She is currently in ICU on a ventilator and no treatment plan. Seems all failed her..Chemo, Radiation, Car-T , Steroids, praying she can come off the vent and get some sort of treatment..anyone have any advise it would appreciated,
