I Had A Lot Of Underarm Odor After Surgery And Through Radiation. I Found The Crystal
A MyBCTeam Member asked a question 💭

deodorants were not very useful. However, now that I am through everything, I find that I am using less deodorant. Has anyone else had this experience? I had axillary lymph node on the right side and only sentinal lymph node dissection on the left. I am wondering if the lymph node removal makes a difference.

Deodorant Not Working After Mastectomy?
A MyBCTeam Member asked a question 💭

Did anybody notice after having their mastectomy that their deodorant doesn't work any more? I asked my surgeon about it and she said several of her patients had told her the same thing but she did not have an answer as to why. Any ideas? Any recommendations?

I heard many years ago that we should not wear deodorant because it "causes cancer." Been meaning to ask my doctor about it but haven't. Have stopped wearing it though until I get an answer.

Body Odor After Lymph Node Dissection
A MyBCTeam Member asked a question 💭

I had a mastectomy 4 mo. ago & lymph node dissection (only 2) Recently I have had HORRID axillary body odor, just from that side. No chemo or radiation done. Even after a shower, it's still there. It's even repulsive to me. I really want to stay employed. Has this happened to anyone else?

ANTIPERSPIRANT AND CANCER
A MyBCTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone know whether antiperspirants have been connected to breast cancer. I read it somewhere and wonder if anyone else has heard that. I've always worn it. I live in Texas after all. Interested to hear if anyone knows about this.
