  1. Transplant and CAR T In Older Adults

    4D AGO

    Transplant and CAR T In Older Adults

    Small changes can matter more than we think — especially during recovery.   In this episode of Thrive!, we take a closer look at how stem cell transplant and CAR T-cell therapy are evaluated in older adults, and how care teams think about age, risk, and readiness when these treatments are being considered. Drawing from the clinical experience and symposium presentation of Dr. Amelia Langston of Emory University’s Winship Cancer Institute, we explore why age alone is rarely the deciding factor, and how factors like overall health, mobility, cognition, resilience, and caregiver support often matter more.   You’ll hear how transplant teams assess fitness using real-world measures of strength and daily function, why preparation and “prehab” can support recovery, and how patients and families can better understand the evaluation process before making decisions about treatment.   This episode also includes a brief news update on new research showing that even small amounts of daily movement — just a few minutes at a time — may support long-term health, along with a look at BMT InfoNet’s Directory of Transplant Centers, a practical resource designed to help patients, survivors, and care partners compare programs and better understand where care happens.   Whether you’re considering transplant later in life, supporting someone through the process, or caring for older patients in a clinical setting, this episode offers practical context, expert insight, and a clearer understanding of how these decisions are made.       Resources and links referenced in this episode:   Deep Dive Presentation Dr. Amelia Langston – Transplant and CAR T-Cell Therapy in Older Adults: Finding Balance Between Benefit and Risk https://bmtinfonet.org/video/transplant-and-car-t-cell-therapy-older-adults-finding-balance-between-benefit-and-risk   News Articles Mentioned   Washington Post – Small amounts of daily walking linked to longer lifespan https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2026/01/31/walking-exercise-increased-lifespan-study/   The Lancet – Physical activity and mortality risk study (original research) https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(25)02219-6/abstract   Something That May Help   BMT InfoNet – Directory of Transplant Centers https://bmtinfonet.org/transplantcenters BMT InfoNet – Directory of CAR T Centers https://bmtinfonet.org/directory-car-t-cell-therapy-centers Chapter Markers   00:00:01 Welcome! 00:00:52 Updates - Small Movements, Meaningful Impact 00:03:18 A Quick Note 00:04:37 Something That May Help - BMT Transplant Directory 00:06:30 Deep Dive - Cold Open 00:07:32 Deep Dive - Transplant and CAR T In Older Adults 00:08:41 Deep Dive - Why Age Matters – And Why It Doesn’t 00:11:17 Deep Dive - The Real Deciding Factor – Resilience 00:13:54 Deep Dive - How Providers Measure Fitness In Older Adults 00:16:13 Deep Dive - What Outcomes Really Look Like In Older Adults 00:17:41 Deep Dive - What Providers Can Do To Improve Outcomes 00:18:47 Deep Dive - What Patients And Families Can Do 00:20:02 Deep Dive - The Real Question Isn’t “Who Should Get A Transplant” 00:20:41 Deep Dive - Takeaways 00:21:43 One Last Thought Stay Connected with BMT InfoNet BMT InfoNet provides trusted information and compassionate support for anyone affected by stem cell transplant or CAR T-cell therapy. www.bmtinfonet.org Contact the Thrive!

  2. Your Eyes After Transplant

    FEB 4

    Your Eyes After Transplant

    Ocular graft-versus-host disease is often thought of as dry eyes — but for many transplant recipients, the earliest signs can look very different.   In this episode of Thrive!, we take a focused deep dive into ocular GVHD, a complication that can affect vision after allogeneic, or donor, stem cell transplant. Drawing from the expertise of Dr. Katie Luo of Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School, we explore how ocular GVHD develops, why symptoms can begin subtly, and what early warning signs patients and care partners should pay attention to.   You’ll hear how changes like crusting on the lashes, increased tearing, light sensitivity, or difficulty with everyday vision can be early signs of inflammation — and why recognizing and reporting those changes early matters. We also discuss the importance of monitoring eye health during periods when the immune system is being activated, and how working with eye specialists who understand GVHD can help protect long-term vision.   This episode also includes a brief news update focused on trust and communication between patients and providers, and highlights a BMT InfoNet resource designed to help people living with GVHD find knowledgeable care closer to home.   Whether you’re navigating ocular GVHD now, supporting someone who is, or simply want to understand this condition more clearly, this episode offers practical context, expert insight, and reassurance that paying attention — even to subtle changes — matters.   Resources and links referenced in this episode:   Deep Dive Presentation Dr. Katie Luo – Graft-versus-Host Disease: What to Do When It Affects Your Eyes https://bmtinfonet.org/video/graft-versus-host-disease-what-do-when-it-affects-your-eyes   News Article Mentioned Medscape – Tips for Talking to Patients About Health-Related Misinformation https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/tips-talking-patients-about-health-related-misinformation-2026a100025h?ecd=WNL_trdalrt_pos1_260125_etid8056324&uac=291963MK&impID=8056324   Something That May Help BMT InfoNet – Directory of GVHD Clinics, Specialists, and Subspecialists https://bmtinfonet.org/gvhd-directory   Connect with BMT InfoNet LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/bmt-infonet/   X (formerly Twitter) https://twitter.com/bmtinfonet   Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/bmtinfonet.bsky.social Chapter Markers 00:00:01 Welcome! 00:00:52 Updates – Why Trust Matters in Medical Conversations 00:03:21 A Quick Note 00:04:31 Something That May Help – GVHD Providers 00:06:18 Deep Dive – Cold Open 00:07:43 Deep Dive – Your Eyes After Transplant 00:08:42 Deep Dive – Understanding What GVHD Is 00:10:41 Deep Dive – The Early Warning Signs Most Patients Miss 00:13:02 Deep Dive – What Triggers Ocular GVHD to Start 00:14:18 Deep Dive – How Ocular GVHD Damages the Eyes 00:15:05 Deep Dive – What You Can Do: Prevention and Daily Care 00:16:35 Deep Dive – Lubrication, Medications, and Procedures 00:18:39 Deep Dive – When Surgery Should and Should Not Be Used 00:21:13 Deep Dive – Hope, Advocacy, and Empowerment 00:22:45 Deep Dive – Takeaways 00:23:51 One Last Thought Stay Connected with BMT InfoNet BMT InfoNet provides trusted information and compassionate support for anyone affected by stem cell transplant or CAR T-cell therapy. www.bmtinfonet.org Contact the Thrive!

  3. The CAR T Option

    JAN 27

    The CAR T Option

    CAR T-cell therapy raises practical questions that go beyond how the treatment works: questions about what happens during recovery, how long side effects may last, what care partners actually do, and when life starts to feel more like normal again. This episode draws from BMT InfoNet’s webinar Ask the CAR T Experts, where clinicians and a psychosocial specialist respond to real questions from patients and care partners navigating CAR T. We explore the full timeline, from leukapheresis and bridging therapy to managing cytokine release syndrome, neurotoxicity, and infection risk at home. We also address care partner roles, fatigue and cognitive changes that can linger for months, and what daily life can look like after the acute phase ends. Whether you’re considering CAR T, supporting someone through it, or working with patients in a clinical setting, this episode offers grounded insight into the realities of preparation, treatment, and recovery — and what it takes to move through each phase with clarity and support. Featured experts: Dr. Jay Spiegel (University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center) Dr. Diana Cirstea (Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute) Margaret Franzetti, LCSW (BMT InfoNet CAR T Support Groups).
