Strange Odor While Taking Anastrozole: Anyone Else Experience This?

Yes I did on Letrozole. My armpit smell changed first and I switched deodorants from what I’d been using for 30 + years. Every area changed smell

I’m also on Letrozole. I went to take a shower and lifted up my arm and I smelled like a terrified 13 year old!😂😂😂. The side with radiation does not smell. I think the sweat glands were fried. I use Lume and I am smelling my armpit, also like a 13 year old a few times a day. 😊

Body chemistry changes during treatment can sometimes lead to unusual sensations, including changes in how things smell or how the body processes certain compounds. This experience sounds frustrating, especially when others can't detect what you're noticing. Many people in treatment find that discussing these types of side effects with their healthcare team can help determine if it's related to medication and explore ways to manage it. Others here may have similar experiences to share with you.
