My 27 year old sister got CAR-T for leukemia earlier this year after a failed stem cell transplant. She's in remission. It's incredible, literally curing cancer.

My friend's 68 year old mother also had it (after being quite sure she was facing a fairly rapid death after other treatments failed).

She's pretty much back to normal. I might say better than before as she now takes her overall health much more seriously.

Amazing.

If you don't mind me asking, how was her pain for the 30-days after period? Another poster said they were extremely lucky to only have suffered a few fevers but some people were in a coma.
Incredible, hope your sister's remission to be a complete & permanent one.

Literally curing cancer, just incredible.

Had no idea we were at this point. But I’m so glad! Hope your sister lives to be 100.
I’m happy for you, best of luck to your sister.
