This has always been something I tried to explore for an answer, mostly with doctors and Lani. On a previous post Schoolteacher was wondering too. Here is our question:

"Did you notice ANY difference is body odor BEFORE getting diagnosed??"

Example: Ed worked out every night and never had an odor on his clothing or body before the shower. Right before getting diagnosed with cancer his sweat was very 'ammonia-like'.

Schoolteacher had a similar situation and too wonders.

Anyone out there with a story you can share so we can find out some answers to a question we never knew to ask before??>>Believe51

PS: Maybe this could help someone in the future.
