Off topic, having seen your wife go through her experience, if you personally had the same issues, would you choose the same treatment path?

I watched my dad go through a failed bone marrow transplant and my current stance is “no”.

Curious to hear your thoughts if you’re able to share.

If I knew that my outcome and experience would be identical, I wouldn't have the CAR-T therapy. The chemo (DA-EPOCH and methotrexate) gave Mel a few months of life with decent quality, but then things got very very difficult. The question for me would be, how do you determine when to stop treatment? The therapies keep improving, so that keeps hope alive.
