Has Anyone Had The Car T Cell Treatment & If So , How Are You Doing Now? My Dr Is Recommending It For Me.
You should also research and ask your doctor about BiSpecific Antibodies. This is the new therapy to replace Car-T. It does not involve cell harvesting and programming. Both therapies report very high response rate, but it is still too early to report its effectiveness. Both also have lethal side effects.
Though less commonly used, there is Donor Based Transplants. When it works, it's a complete recovery forever and I believe without any maintenance.
Allogeneic stem cell transplant: This type of transplant uses stem cells from a donor who does not have multiple myeloma. Ideally, the donor is related to the recipient, but if there is no suitable related donor, stem cells from an unrelated donor are used.
Mini transplants: This type of allogeneic transplant uses lower-dose radiation and less toxic chemotherapy to reduce the risk of allogeneic stem cell transplant–associated complications.
There's a Video Story of a Survivor who after many repeated failed treatments was saved by a Allogeneic Transplant. If I find his Link, I'll add it to this Post Thread.
Michele,
Once again I apologize. I read your question wrong. Car T not SCT was what you wrote. All I can say is everyone is different and reacts differently. Most people who post about Car T say is was much easier than SCT. Check out old Questions and Answers. There have been many posts about it. I hope you can find some answers.💕
