Okay, so this is my personal experience with how my smell has changed some since I started chemo. If you or someone you know is or has gone through chemo, smell can be different for you or them. Just thought I would put it out there first and say that everyone is different. This is my experience.
So, since starting chemo my smell has changed a bit. Some smells are now stronger. I have never really liked the smell of seafood. Now, it is almost like I can smell seafood from a mile away!! (Not literally of course but it seems like that now.)
Sometimes I can smell perfume in a crowd where as before it really did not bother me. The perfume was not bad but I could just smell it more than before.
I have not had a lot of bad experiences with smell. I hope that I really do not that it does not get worse though. It makes me wonder if others have some smells get stronger or now smells bad where as it did not before.
Sometimes I do smell things where others may not smell it. That has been a little weird too. I will sometimes smell things, ask someone if they smell that smell and most of the time they do not.
I hope my smell goes back to my normal after chemo. I think that would be a real nice thing!!
