Dear members


I have just started my radiotherapy and I am suffering from my underarm bad odor, it is only one side where the doctors removed the cancer lump. The smell is worst when I wake up and in the afternoon. Bathing and showering twice daily is not helping, neither wearing only cotton. I keep smelling myself all the time!!! Please help and tell me what to do?


p.s. I am currently on Tamoxifen


Thank you


Najat

    I had the worst BO after surgery. I used an antibacterial soap like dial only under my arm. I also switched to Toms deodorant. I'm currently on tamoxifen and just started rads. I haven't noticed any odor. Sorry. Mention it to your tech or dr. Good luck. BO is the worst!
