Smell

Radiotherapy what’s the smell only I can smell

  • Hi Mickyboy75

    I had this when I was having radiotherapy, I mentioned it at my weekly assessment and was told that they don't know why it happens but it is something that some people experience. Not much help but it appears to be a normal reaction for some people. X

  • Yes it’s strange plus my socks really smell never had smelly feet in my life, but I asked one radiologist he said it’s the skin reacting to radiotherapy, and skin burning, getting very tired now, had bad day Thursday and getting very breathless makes it worse when you have copd, takes everything out of me walking up 12 steps on stairs, have appointment with oncology consultant tues see what meds to put me on, think it’s starting to hit me now as it happened so quick from doctors to surgery about weelks and getting a bit frightened now.
