@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. 😂

Yeah, and you would always know if the person with you in the elevator just had the transplant because you could smell it, even through the masks. Luckily creamed corn was never one of our favorites.
