Thank you for voicing this issue. I have CDK stge. 4 and began suddenly having very odd, terrible armpit odor start a couple of months ago. I never had an issue with under arm odor in my life (77 YO). I went through any changes and the only culprit I came with was my recent change of meds. One pill in particular was new, I'd never had before. The odor has subsided, so I don't know if it was helping me detox, or I got used to the medicine,or???
Best wishes to you.

I’m 75 and I have 2 friends my age and one younger, all complaining of the same thing. Does our sense of smell sudden go into overdrive in our 70s? Washing and deodorant don’t help. It’s bizarre.
