This is so strange. I am not one to post or share thoughts on sensitive subjects, mostly because I believe I could be mistaken or wrong. Several years ago I came across a person who had a particular odd smell (every time I saw her over a two month period) and I rubbed it off as maybe she just ate garlic daily or something. It was a disturbing smell to me (that is the best I can do to describe as I have difficulty describing smells). Shortly thereafter I found out she had cancer. During the next 10 years, I have come across other individuals with the similar disturbing smell, some I knew personally and some were passers by. Of those I knew personally, they all had cancer. I have had my dna mapped and I am not part of the high risk category for cancer, but just two days ago I started smelling that disturbing smell on me. My diet is mostly vegan and I can't think for the life of me what I could have eaten to give me a different smell (one that does not come off in the shower - I shower daily and the smell is on me after I get out of the shower). I am 6' and 200lbs and feel healthy and I have no symptoms that would cause me to think I have cancer, but this disturbing smell is unavoidable. Does anyone know if there a way to test for cancer through blood or urine when you have no symptoms? Please, no "go to the doctor", I have had sooo many acquaintances go to the doctor with valid concerns and were turned away only to find out months later they actually had cancer (so sad). I would really like to know if this smell is related to cancer and if this ability to detect it is a gift.
