Has anyone with CMML had CAR T-cell treatment?

Based on the available information about CMML treatments, CAR T-cell therapy isn't mentioned as a current treatment option for chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.

The main treatments for CMML include:

* Stem cell transplant (the only potential cure)
* Chemotherapy drugs like azacitidine, decitabine, hydroxyurea, and cytarabine
* Supportive care including blood transfusions and growth factors
* Radiation therapy or surgery for an enlarged spleen
* Clinical trials for investigational approaches

If you're interested in exploring newer treatment options like CAR T-cell therapy, it's worth asking your healthcare team about clinical trials. Clinical trials can sometimes provide access to treatments that aren't yet widely available, though they come with both potential benefits and risks.

Your doctor can help you understand whether any trials might be appropriate for your specific situation and CMML phase.
