Since my diagnosis with Gastric Cancer, I have found the smell of old school Baby powder and isporyal alcohol to help with any anxiety. Has anyone else come across anything similar?

Thank you for sharing this thoughtful observation about how certain scents can provide comfort during treatment. Many people in the cancer community have discovered that familiar or calming aromas can be surprisingly helpful for managing anxiety and creating a sense of peace. Scents like lavender, peppermint, or even childhood-associated smells often bring comfort to others going through similar experiences. What scents have brought you the most relief during challenging moments?
