Smelling cancer!

I went to my doctor today because of an odor I’ve had under my left armpit for the last 2 weeks that I can not get rid of!
He checked for rash, infected hair gland or swollen gland & nothing. Asked about last monogram….well I’m past due for one. So I thought that strange & googled it & found info on breast cancer & odor under armpit that you can’t get rid of. I have my monogram scheduled & praying there’s no association & will go from there. I am 65 years old & am living in a hotel right now waiting for contractors to repair my home, lots of ceiling/wall sheetrock replacement, from Hurricane Ida that hit us in August.
Signed,
Stressed Enough

Please don't put off your mammogram and don't let fear stop you from looking into this. Let us know how your testing comes out. Wishing you the best.

Oh my gosh! I asked my onco surgeon about this very thing! I never had an armpit odor issue until the past 18 months or so and it was ONLY on my right side, the side my BC was on. She said it wasn’t related. I still suspected it was cancer related though…I’m going to ask my hemo oncologist next time I see him. Wow. Thought I was nuts!
