Several months before I was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer in Sept. 2015, I not only felt a swelling near the armpit of my left breast, but I kept smelling what I'd say was close to B.O. in that armpit. I shower every day, but couldn't get rid of that smell. After breast surgery which disclosed different cancers n each breast, the old sweat smell stopped. The right breast which had estrogen related cancer didn't produce this smell. I'd mentioned this peculiar condition to my primary care doctor before my mammogram, but he didn't seem concerned. However, I knew it indicated that something was up and I'm glad I trusted my own instincts and made the mammogram appointment. My advice: Trust your instincts. You know your body.

I had that too! For at least a year my right armpit always had a bad smell. I would scrub it like crazy in the shower and could never get rid of the smell. In March of 2018 I was diagnosed with breast cancer in the right breast, close to the armpit! I went thru chemo, surgery & radiation; the smell is gone!

Suki - it's a relief that there is someone else with this ability. Thank you for sharing!
