If you are taking systemic treatments hat smell will come out in your breath, also with some drugs in my case through my sweat and tears. Also chemo will heighten your sense of smell in a big way. I suffered with that as well, so did my husband. Here is a funny thing, when he had his stem cell transplant at Mayo, you could always tell a fresh transplant patient by the creamed corn smell. I bet @loribmt knows something about that smell.

@auntieoakley, I was spared that treat! 😂🌽 Frozen stem cells have that characteristic smell of creamed corn. I think that would put me off of that forever!! 😂😂 It’s the preservative.
I think your husband used his own cells so they were harvested and frozen. Some allogenic transplanted cells are frozen too if coming from a long distance. My bag was fresh, not Birdseye. 😂
