I just want to thank you Trixie1313 for your posts. I have had a recent mammogram and everything looked fine. Unfortunately, I have been smelling a DISTINCT smell of ammonia in my sweat- specifically on the under part of my bra. Preliminary tests show no signs of liver or kidney disease. But now the skin on my breasts is changing color. I am going to use this information along with YOUR information to go to the doctor and request more testing be done! (I'm not crazy either)! LOL

I went to the Primary Care physician today and got a blank-faced, "I don't know" about the ammonia smell. I forgot to mention the change in breast color because I had a list of seven things and only got to six of them. (Back and rib pain being two of them).

Anyway, I am going to call a breast care center tomorrow. Your posts are the only thing I could find on the internet that tied the ammonia smell to breast cancer. I also appreciate how you mentioned that it is rare and even your oncologist does not see it often.

Of course, I want to be absolutely wrong about all of it but at least I feel like I'm heading in some sort of direction now whereas earlier I didn't know where to start!

Thanks again for sharing your story and helping me! I wish you the very best with your journey. God Bless you and your family!
