Stuff stinks to me…is that normal??? Like people’s breath…hehe but really things stink… is it me, is it others, is it the chemo???
yup, that’s the chemo - heightened sense of smell - seems to miss out the nice ones though.
apparently it does go away again

No Lee you are not alone! My sense of smell and taste is all over the place. Odd things - my husband was cooking artichokes (which I’ve always loved) the other day and I had to keep away from the kitchen - just smelt so bad.
Could be of course that the people you know have given up washing and brushing their teeth but my bets on the chemotherapy…

Yes it’s the chemo and it will go away, likewise with taste.

Hi Lee,
as you can see you are not alone!!! Everything does stink to me since I started chemo. My fridge has never been so clean as I am constantly getting everything out of it as I am convinced something has gone off!!! I wander round the house with my nose in the air like a little sniffer dog! I’m always saying to my OH ‘can’t you smell that??’!!
Its crazy!!!

Hi Gaynor
They are called buffs - they are sooooooo good. go onto bandanashop.com/ and click on shop departments on the left hand side and it says buff headwear.
They are great and make you look fashionable in a normal kinda way. They keep you warm in the cold and keep you cool when your warm. I chose the original buff headwear, but ive just ordered a polar buff as its fleece so will let you know about that too.
Best Wishes & let me know how you get on

hope u enjoy them…
