This thread has been really helpful. I thought I was going insane. For about two months I've had a strong odor coming from only my right armpit, and was experiencing some tenderness. I took to Google and couldn't find anything except one random medical journal from India linking that to breast cancer. I couldn't control the smell even after I'd showered, and I've never had issues with body odors before (not even in my teens), so it was really bothering me. I decided to just go with my gut and make a gyno appointment for a breast exam. Lo and behold, she found a lump there. I'll be going in for further testing next week. Whether it's something, or nothing, I'm super glad I listened to my gut. And I truly appreciate you sharing your stories about a similar issue with armpit odor and breast cancer.

Welcome to the group, @hfminerva72. I, too, am glad that you followed your gut and sought a medical consult.
A lump can mean different things, like a benign cyst. So good that you are getting further testing next week. Please do check back in to let me know how it goes. And, in the meantime, the gang is here over the weekend should you have any questions or just need to talk.
Hi! Thanks for sharing your experience with us:) I am so glad that you followed your gut feeling and got it checked out by your gyno in time for early detection / starting treatment early.
I just joined this group discussion recently and found this topic to be very helpful. Could you please let me know where can I find that article that you mentioned: "one random medical journal from India" linking body odor to breast cancer, please?
Hope you've been well, healthy and happy since last year:)

I have nothing helpful to add here , Just wanted to say that every time a dog runs up to sniff me , I wonder if its the MBC that attracks them , LOLOL. Theres been an urban legend for years that dogs can smell cancer ( apparently not science based ) but LOL , Dogs just are natural sniffers . I just always freak out a little tiny bit , just wondering if they do . I think it might be nice to see a Dr Doggie for sniffs vs the PET Scans .
