CAR-T Cell Therapy: Introduce yourself and connect with others

Welcome to the CAR-T Cell Therapy group on Mayo Clinic Connect.
This is a welcoming, safe place where you can meet people who have experience with CAR-T cell therapy or are caring for someone on CAR-T cell therapy. There are so few people who have experience with this new cancer immunotherapy. Together we can learn from each other, support one another and share stories about living with cancer and coping with the challenges of treatment.

Let’s chat. Why not start by introducing yourself? When did you or your family start therapy? How are you doing today?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) & CAR-T Cell Therapy Support Group.

I just wanted to report that I am doing so well after my Car T Carvykti in March 2025. Its been six months, and I feel almost normal! I love not having any treatments. I am in total remission. I am starting IVIG infusions for my low IGG, but otherwise I feel so good. I am very grateful. It seems like a miracle!

Magical isn't it. I am 22 months out from CAR T and feeling great. My last IVIG infusion was in April or May(time flies. Note that I took a reaction to my first IVIG. Subquently they loaded me up on antihistimines, anti nausea drugs and prednisone. I have not reacted since. I understand that this is very rare. Good luck and best wishes for continued good health!
