Thanks so much Lori! Yes, we are fortunate to live in the new world of CAR-T. Still in first year so every three months. For me, the 9 month marker will be important because that is when the DLBCL returned. Don't get me wrong, all markers are important but the longer I'm free in the first year the better the outcome will likely be.

We take each of those milestone markers with a new sense of hope. ☺️
I had an Allogenic (donor cells) bone marrow transplant for AML. My first big milestone was 22 months. After that point, statistically the likelihood of a relapse diminishes. The big milestone will be at 5 years. I just had my 4th rebirthday the end of June. I’m not even considering that this isn’t a win! ☺️
Keep on being positive and wishing you only the best news going forward. And thanks again for sharing your story. It will be so encouraging for anyone else undergoing Car T.
