I don't remember having any new body odors that I noticed.
My survivor friend says that her Jack Russel terrier sniffed at her breast for a while before the diagnosis.
I do remember that the summer before diagnosis I started taking a nap during the day on some, but not all, weekends. I never napped in my life before that, and I haven't napped since. If I start napping again, I'm calling my oncologist.
