For Rachel Dib, a military wife and mother in North Carolina, lupus robbed her of nearly everything she loved for nearly two decades.

Now, a groundbreaking clinical trial at the UNC School of Medicine is helping change that.

Rachel received CAR T-cell therapy — a form of genetic engineering first used to treat cancer.

“This is life changing,” Rachel says. “I can get up with my kids in the morning and take them to school. Simple things like laundry and dishes — my husband doesn't have to do those for me anymore.”

Rachel and her rheumatologist discuss the amazing improvements they've seen.

“Because multiple myeloma is uncommon, many physicians may not have seen as much multiple myeloma as they’ve seen breast or lung cancer,” says UNC Health oncologist Sascha Tuchman, MD, who heads UNC’s Multiple Myeloma and Amyloidosis Program.

“If you’re newly diagnosed, go to a group where they specialize in multiple myeloma, so they have access to the latest and greatest treatments.”
