I’m sorry if I gave that impression. No, I didn’t have CAR-T. I had rituxan only. Rituxan is a monoclonal antibody which targets a specific protein. IIRC, Rituxan is but one of the drugs used in CAR-T.

It was so weird, to my way of thinking. I was diagnosed in late May, about now, one year ago. I started the rituxan treatment in June. I had four in total spaced one week apart. On July 11, the doc said he could not see any more lymphoma in my blood. I am back to the “watch and wait” (I call it “whine and worry”) stage of lymphoma.

Lol- i hear ya- Cancer is awful even after it’s ‘been cured’ - there’s still the worry it could come back- let’s pray it doesn’t- They are making such tremendous progress with cancers- and now i see they are very close to a cure for Alzheimer’s too- hopefully one day these terrible diseases will be a minor worry only-
