@vancouverislandhiker Vitamins have an odor. Nothing else in your urinary systems has changed. I was a sports official until this past Feb. and would work 5 days a week, sometimes two scholastic games a night, 6 tournament games a day in the summer, and asked one of my partners that I was close enough to if I had any urinary smell, as I had quit using pads 4 months after RP. He said no. I asked my wife and after coming home from games and she stated no . Now, dogs can smell it and I've had dogs walk up to me on the trail sticking their nose in my crotch. Boundaryless fur balls. lol

@chippydoo Chip , thanks for the info here . It must be the vitamins then . Only when I do go pee I smell sort of a chemical smell but not really a chemical small . Yes , My dogs seem to track it at trail corners where I pee , they go to that spot all the time . I am not on ADT , only had operation 6 years ago, and them EBRT for 22 sessions ( no ADT ) , and that was 2.5 years ago . My PSA now is about 0.061 to about 0.050 , and seems to go sideways . My urologist and radiation oncologist have commented that I have a profile with some healthy cells in the background that are not going anywhere. I was a Gleason 3+4 prior to operation. I always wonder how the urologist and radiation oncologist know for certain that it is healthy PSA cells that are giving me some fluctuation in the thousandth decimal place. I gather they see this every day, 10 hours a day so they would have a pretty good hunch at least.?
