Exemestane and sense of smell

cabbott

I am slowly losing some of my sense of smell. Sometimes coffee, cinnamon and chocolate have very little smell to me, though I can faintly smell them if I'm close enough. I wonder if it has anything to do with the exemestane that I am taking. Does anyone else experience a loss of sense of smell while taking an aromatase inhibitor?

loss of smell after breast cancer

I had chemo, radiation and exemestane for 5 years ending in 2008.  I have very little if any sense of smell.  I worry because the loss of smell can be a sign of alzheimers.  Anyone else have this condition?
