Yes, I did. It worked really well. Took a couple months. Still doing great eight months later.

CAR-T cell therapy has shown promising results for many people with hard-to-treat multiple myeloma, even when other treatments have failed. According to the knowledge base:

- Effectiveness: In a study called KarMMa, 3 out of 4 people had fewer signs of cancer, and 1 out of 3 had a complete response (all signs of cancer were gone).
- Remission: 2 out of 3 were in remission for at least one year.

However, it's important to note that CAR-T cell therapy does not work for everyone, and cancer can sometimes return after treatment. Always discuss with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Hearing all this was not easy for me. It made me emotional because it feels like one thing after another. But at the same time, I am thankful that I am already under medical care and the doctors are taking steps to find out exactly what
