Smelling cancer!

I too have smelled this type of ammonia smell as well. I smelled it when both my parents had cancer and now I'm concerned for myself. I have been smelling this odor again on myself now for a couple months. I've expressed this to my doctors and they just shrug it off like it's impossible. I do believe
there is something to it .

It's strange but since it was brought up I do remember having an odor under my breasts that I had never had before. I bet it started 6 months to a year ago. I was diagnosed in July with ILC. It was almost a vinegar type smell. I noticed it at first on the bottom of my bra where my breasts sweat. In all my years (66) I had never had such a smell. I had a lumpectomy Aug 21, 2023 and I no longer have the odor. I thought it was from sweating, but I have heavy breasts and always perspired in the under them in the warm weather. It seems very possible to me that there may be something to this.

@jordan2433, have you had any other symptoms? Do you continue to do screening tests for those cancer types that have screening, like colonoscopy and mammogram?
