For me, the smell went away somewhat after the lumpectomy and then completely after the second tumor was removed. If you haven't had a mammogram in the recent past or an MRI breast or PET scan, maybe discuss your concerns with your oncologist to see if they can do further testing to reassure you that all is well.
