No.  I didn't have stem cell therapy at all.  The 1st couple of rounds are usually traditional chemo+drug.  My drug encourages cell death by attaching to the CD20 receptor.  No, I was just worried that destroying and regrowing yourself changes you in fundamental and unpredictable ways.  Identity is already a delusion.  And ontogenesis under heavy stress is, I think, analogous to evolution under heavy selection pressure.  You can get some pretty radical changes out of it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Pohlman had been a relatively normal guy before his 3 rounds of therapy.  Brings to my mind the Stanford Prison Experiment.
