Hi, Rob.

I'm glad you won't be waiting around much longer to get on to the business of your transplant. Regarding a nasty smell, I don't recall any related to chemo but some people react to the smell of the preservative that the stem cells come in--something like creamed corn, if you can imagine that! However, the infusion of the stem cells themselves is fairly quick so your exposure to that smell would be limited.

Keep us posted.
