Health Update

Published on 33 Comments on Health Update

I spent the afternoon today up in LA visiting the Kaiser Permanente bone marrow transplant team to discuss getting the Carvykti CAR-T treatment for my multiple myeloma. These are the same doctors who did my stem cell transplant back in 2015, and the procedure would once again be done at City of Hope in Duarte.

Everything went swimmingly. Nothing is set in stone until the "committee" approves things, but as of now I'm on the waiting list for a slot that would most likely open up in about four months or so. That's sooner than I had expected, so I hope this comes through. Keep your fingers crossed.

    I read about the new treatment. Very cutting edge. I really hope it knocks the multiple myeloma on its butt. Good luck.

    Fingers are crossed. I’ve really appreciated how generous you and your wife have been about sharing the information about your myeloma. It has greatly helped a friend of mine who has the same condition. Thanks….good luck.

    Great news! Things change so fast, and for the better. I am crossing an odd number of crosses, because odd numbers are lucky, right? : )

    Wonderful news. I just googled the therapy and the clinical trial results prior to recent FDA approval seem spectacular.
