Hello Mandy74, 

I can completely understand why you are in shock as you didn't expect the consultant to tell you that his treatment failed to work. It's good though that there is still the option of CAR T-cell immunotherapy and you can find out more about this treatment on this page.  I hope that it works for your husband and I know it's really hard after everything you've been through recently together but try and stay hopeful that this treatment will be successful. I am certaintly keeping everything crossed for you. 

It's normal that you are feeling overwhelmed and it can be really hard to stay positive and hopeful in situations like this. I know it's easier said than done, but try and take one day at a time if you can and to do special things together. I am sure he appreciates your support and you being by his side during this difficult time. He sounds like an incredible man and I wish him the very best for the start of his immunotherapy treatment. Keep us updated if you can on how it goes. Have you got a start date for it? 

Hopefully you will meet other members of this forum who have been going through something similar and who will be happy to share their own stories with you. We're all here for you whenever you feel the need to offload and I am sending you huge positive vibes ahead of your husband's treatment.

If you had any questions about his treatment or simply wanted to talk to one of our nurses about it, feel free to give them a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.  

Best wishes,
