Squeezing out those cells!

Susan phoned in Monday's numbers: a small, but scrappy .11 million cells to add to the 1.7 million currently on ice.

Dr. Wang confirmed that Susan will be at COH every afternoon this week to reach the two million minimum. (Actually, two million and a dab more.) (Yes, "dab" is a medical term. It's slightly larger than a "smidgen." Ask any medical student. Or just watch "Scrubs.")

"So, Smooky…" I asked. "Isn't there an oncology version of Miracle-Gro they can sprinkle on the harvested cells to encourage them multiply on their own?"

Alas, no!
