Yes, I watched it both times. Although Car-T therapy wasn’t successful for these two brave patients, it was heartening at the end when it revealed a selection of patients that it had been successful in.

Yes we watched it. Incredibly moving. Both so brave but the dignity of that young man made us cry buckets. Especially both so brave that all they suffered in the trial went on to ove the way to help others to succeed. My husband found it tough watching as his 14 year old brother died of leukemia when he was 8.

Such a moving show. Devastating at times but shows that these treatments are still in their early stages and have a way to go. And hopeful for the future

They are making huge progress with this therapy. They now understand what went wrong at first and the mechanism of the lethal side effects.

Just watched this. Very moving. The trial patients were very brave. Even though they sadly passed away their bravery lives on for others who have the treatment and go into remission.
