My dad has had a stem cell transplant twice for multiple myeloma. Once in his late 60s and again maybe 5-7 years later.
Did the stem cells smell like spaghetti o’s? I remember thinking an autologous stem cell transplant would be this crazy process. The harvesting was, but the transplant itself was basically getting hooked up to an IV infusion for 15 minutes.

Ha! I remember it tasting like tomato sauce. Weird stuff. Oh and the “re-entry” of cells was the most anticlimactic event. I don’t know what I was expecting, but 30 minutes maybe and you were back to your soap opera?
I just did CAR-T and the cell infusion tasted like canned corn. Spot on.
