My wife's 1 year AUCATZYL infusion (#1) anniversary was a couple of days go.
She's doing well.
She just had another bone marrow biopsy, so we're waiting on the MRD results. Expectation is that everything is normal, but naturally it is still stressful.
As I've mentioned before, I'm not posting for sympathy or anything like that. I'm just posting to bring a real life touchpoint to the community. For context, she was diagnosed with ALL more than 12 years ago. Was treated successfully, but then relapsed about 18 months after remission. She was then treated again, and this time did a stem cell transplant, which was really brutal. She was then in remission for about 7 years before relapsing again. That time around, newer treatments including blinatumomab and Inotuzumab (Besponsa) made things easier. Then a few months after remission, MRD tests started showing some small signs of ALL again, and that's when we started the AUCATZYL journey, which took months until she could be treated.
So here we are now, very thankful that we had this option.
And I'm glad to see that AUCATZYL is selling more, finding trust amongst oncologists.
