For her chemotherapy, she began her treatments at home. <\/p>\n<p>After months of treatment, she joined a clinical trial of CAR-T-cell therapy, a type of immunotherapy against certain blood cancers, in January. But, she was eventually told by doctors that her prognosis had worsened. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cGeorge did everything for me that he possibly could. He talked to all the doctors and insurance people that I didn\u2019t want to talk to; he slept on the floor of the hospital,\u201d Schlossberg said of her husband, whom she married in 2017. <\/p>\n<p>Schlossberg was prescribed months of chemotherapy treatment and a bone marrow transplant.

This has been a great gift, even though I feel their pain every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMostly, I try to live and be with them now.
