CAR-T Chemo & Hospital Stay: What to Expect?
AI-generated title
Getting ready for Car T. I will do collection in a week. Once cells come back (6 wks) I will admit to hospital, so they are telling me mid-May. I am wondering if anyone can share what the chemo is like that they give you 3 days before you go into hospital for infusion. They are saying it is a low dose and manageable, but I feel like that is an overused word. Also I am wondering how people managed through the hospital stay? I know CRS and neurological side effects are main things to deal with after infusion. I am told I won’t be able to drive for 2 months after infusion- yikes! I guess because of the neurological risks? I am 57 yo female, in good shape, I workout regularly and while treatments have been rough overall as I got to the fouth failed treatment, I am managing fine without any major side effects.
