A Stem Cell Birthday Party

Stem cell birthday parties are massively important parts of the treatment process for patients. They signify a really important day – the day when you essentially have your old immune system replaced with a new one. In some sense, you are born anew.

Here I have an example of a stem cell birthday for some other patients. However, the audio isn't very good so you might not be able to pick up everything that is being said. My own stem cell birthday celebration comes later in this process in the number of blog posts' time. This should just give you a flavour. Notice that, at the end, part of the ritual is to pour liquid nitrogen on the floor. This is the same liquid nitrogen that your own stem cells are brought up in as they are frozen during your chemotherapy stage. More on this process in later blog posts.
