CAR T therapy

Last reply: 31 January 2025 22:23

Has anyone been through process of CART therapy? I’m Pmbcl refractory. After my third pet scan on on Jan , it was agreed that I start Car T in St James. I was told my pet scan showed a great response to chemo. Sounding that I was bordering between stem cell or cat t , At James they required a 4th petscan after my 3rd cycle of RICE It’s worrying that in a space of three weeks , they have concerns about my most recent pet scan that occurred yesterday. Everyone tells me how well I’m looking and it’s hard to voice at times , the stress and insomnia of managing this cancer

Hi! I was also refractory for the same type of cancer, I had Car-T cell in James January of last year, had slight crs and the odd sort of fits! Got remission in may and so far scans are still clear! All the best

Thanks for your reply. I’m glad to hear of someone that went through it and you are in remission. I hope that recovery is going well for you.
