I have been wondering about cancer odor lately. My husband died of cancer one year ago. He had an strong distinct odor. After his death I moved to California to be with my Sons, and about a month or so after, I began to smell that same distinct smell. It lasted for a couple of days and went away. It's been 9 months since I smelled it, but now it's back. I have been smelling it for the last couple of days. It doesn't smell like ammonia though. I can't describe it, but it's the exact smell my husband had. I thought it may be my breath, but I thoroughly brushed my teeth and used mouth wash, and it's still there. It seems to be in my nose. I feel like if I brought it up to my doctor, she would think me a hypochondriac. I have an appointment in a couple of months. I will probably bring it up at that time. I just wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience.
