Good news: CAR T-cell treatment

Hi all, read this yesterday. I know the study was in lupus patients but it does go on to mention possible success in SSc. Gave me hope for the future and wanted to share:

I saw it too! Made my day! This treatment has being approved and performed in 9 hospitals in UK for some blood cancers for the last 4 years. Hope they start trails for SS soon 🤞🏻

hi there and yes I saw this too, such fantastic news and let’s hope it’s not too expensive and that we can have access to it.

yes I read it too. This is an extremely expensive treatment. I have read on the NHS website that they approve it for blood cancers if they have tried everything and didn’t work so my hope on getting it with the NHS for scleroderma is really low at least for now.

Let's pray that it works out cheaper than all the other treatments we have to have and the similarly expensive drugs!
