What happens after CAR-T cell therapy fails?
Community Member
a month agoHi everyone. I was diagnosed in early January 2026 for a mass found initially back in October 2025. Went through R-CHOP Mini from Jan to the end of April & rang the gong. Only to find that any progress made had reversed and another lesion came into the picture larger than the first. I am now preparing for CAR-T. My t-cells have been collected and are being engineered (quite amazing!). Meanwhile I am undergoing Bridge Immunotherapy. Just finished second treatment in this first cycle. PET scan coming up next week after 3rd treatment to see if we do another cycle of immunotherapy, radiation, or head right to CAR-T. Trying to stay warrior strong & optimistic! 💕💪🏻💕

a month agoWhile CAR-T cell therapy is often very effective for B-cell lymphomas, there are additional treatment options available if it doesn't work as hoped, including clinical trials, other immunotherapies, or different chemotherapy combinations that your oncology team can discuss with you. Your positive attitude and warrior spirit are incredible assets as you navigate this journey, and it sounds like you have a thoughtful medical team guiding your care through each step.
