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.

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.

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.

Your Bones After Transplant and CAR T

In this episode of Thrive! — A BMT InfoNet Podcast, we take a closer look at bone health after stem cell transplant and CAR T-cell therapy, an often overlooked but essential part of recovery and long-term well-being.
 
We also share a few recent news updates shaping cancer care and recovery, including:
• New research offering renewed hope for people living with multiple myeloma through combination immunotherapy
• What rising cancer survival rates reveal about follow-up care, quality of life, and life after treatment
• The growing demands placed on older spouses supporting recovery at home
 
In today’s Deep Dive segment, we explore bone health in greater detail. Drawing from a presentation by Dr. Angeliki Stamatouli, an endocrinologist at Virginia Commonwealth University’s Massey Cancer Center, we walk through why bone loss is common after treatment, who is most at risk, and how bone health can be preserved, monitored, and treated as part of survivorship care.
 
This episode is designed for patients, survivors, care partners, and the medical professionals who support them, offering clear context and practical insights to help navigate life after treatment with greater confidence.
 
New episodes of Thrive! are released weekly and are about 20 minutes long, making it easy to stay informed wherever you listen.

The Immune System After Transplant and CAR T

In this episode of Thrive! — A BMT InfoNet Podcast, we begin with a few important updates on CAR T access and availability, including new FDA approval news and recent research examining patient-reported outcomes after stem cell transplant and CAR T-cell therapy.
 
In today’s Deep Dive segment, we take a closer look at managing infections after treatment. Drawing from the expertise of infectious disease specialist Dr. Gowri Satyanarayana, we explore why infection risk exists during recovery, what symptoms should never be ignored, and how patients and care partners can reduce risk while still maintaining quality of life. Topics include neutropenic fever, common categories of infections, prevention strategies, travel considerations, and vaccinations after transplant or CAR T.
 
This episode also highlights Patient Stories from the BMT InfoNet community, where patients, survivors, and care partners share firsthand experiences of life before, during, and after treatment.

The Mind After Transplant and CAR T

In this premiere episode of Thrive! — A BMT InfoNet Podcast, we begin with several updates related to survivorship, including new tools designed to support mental health, recent research on transplant access using alternative donors, and emerging evidence on outcomes with older donors when modern graft-versus-host disease prevention is used.
 
In today’s Deep Dive segment, we take a closer look at how stem cell transplant and CAR T-cell therapy can affect memory, focus, and mental clarity. Drawing on the expertise of psychiatrist and psycho-oncology specialist Dr. Zev Nakamura of the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, we explore why these cognitive changes can occur, how common they are, who may be at greater risk, and what strategies may help support cognitive recovery over time.
 
The episode also highlights Caring Connections, BMT InfoNet’s peer-support program that connects patients, survivors, and care partners with trained volunteers who have walked a similar path.
