What Patients Need to Know: Laurie Adami and Dana-Farber's Dr. Caron Jacobson on CAR-T

In this two-part educational webinar series hosted by Cancer Support Community, Laurie appears alongside Dr. Caron Jacobson, Medical Director of the Immune Effector Cell Therapy Program at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, to give patients and caregivers a grounded, practical understanding of CAR-T therapy - how it works, what side effects to expect, how to navigate insurance, and what to ask for at each stage of the process. Laurie speaks from direct experience, covering everything from the waiting period between T-cell harvest and infusion to the role of caregivers and the importance of self-advocacy, offering the kind of detail that only comes from having lived through it.
