    Yup. After my MX and SNLB, the biopsied armpit was very stinky for about 3-4 months. My doctor warned me about it, but I don't think I believed him at the time. It's gone now, but it lasted for a while. Doc said it was because the lymph system is disrupted.

    mine eventually resumed normal after several months.  In the meantime, spreading a thin layer of Milk of Magnesia was the ONLY thing to keep the BO away.  I still use it sometimes.

    I too have a problem with Bo, not on the side of the cancer but the other armpit. The left armpit where I was radiated has no hair and no odor. That's been for two years now. But the right armpit has gone insane and natural deodorant does not work. But a friend of mine who has the same problem uses pure white vinegar that she sprays on, I do to now and it works no Bo but my  hubby says he craves salt and vinegar chips now go figure! We are still laughing over that.
