Half the hair on my head has changed from straight to curly. I have short hair so very noticeable. The smell started shortly after the hair became more pronounced.

Hi, how can I count the showers. I keep on asking my husband if I smell. He saying no but, I think I smell of fish, or sour something 🤔. The sweats are 24 -7 mostly around my head, neck and shoulders. I shower 🚿 when ever I feel like it and do wash with salt water and coast soap. I use lume which advertises for pits, privates and beyond. This is to last 48-72 hours so maybe that's why my husband doesn't smell anything. With that being said I can only think that the smell is within and only I can smell this delightful sent. 😊. Let's keep on trying.maybe we can cone up with a solution. Best to you and yours. Christine

Excessive sweating is a common symptom of lymphoma, caused by chemicals released by cancer cells. Many people with lymphoma report experiencing profuse sweating during physical activity, similar to your experience. Changes in body chemistry due to lymphoma can affect various aspects of your health, including sweating patterns. Here are some strategies to help manage excessive sweating:

• Wear breathable natural fabrics like cotton
• Keep a change of clothes handy
• Stay well hydrated
• Exercise earlier in the day when possible
• Avoid spicy foods and caffeinated drinks
• Dress in layers that can be removed easily

Most importantly, make sure to discuss these new symptoms (the unusual smell and hair changes) with your new doctor, as they could be relevant to your overall health assessment and treatment plan.

Girls trips was a success! NJ was the best day for Mom, unknown to us, one of her best friends (we couldn't contact) has Alhiemzers... she didn't know me. But say my moms name..she lit up! I walked her to my car and it's was like a child on Christmas opening a gift... she even said childlike "This is the best day of my whole life" while hugging my mom. Smiling through the tears... beautiful!
I had a new symptom while there! A large lump inside my elbow. Hot and itchy!! Like a thousand mosquito bites. Of course it happened in a Saturday morning and dr office closed i didn't think it an emergency. I called Monday and got info. It did go away thank goodness in about 8 days. No rash. Just weird. We came back 5 days early because mom ran out of medicine and it was from when she had stroke from hospital. She required a dr appointment to get a refill.
All travels were safe, good visits everywhere.
My hair... lol my hairdresser had trouble pulling the curly side through the cap (I felt it too haha) and had to cut the curly side shorter because it has volume as the straight side which is super flat! All for a balanced look.
