    Smells

    This is my first post. I was diagnosed with USPC stage II one year ago two weeks after my husband was diagnosed with lung cancer. That's carrying togetherness too far!

    I too have experienced phantom smells, or olfactory hallucinations, but it started a year before diagnosis.  My GP sent me to an ENT who ordered a sinus scan and said my olfactory nerve was damaged from chronic sinusitis. He wanted to do surgery but couldn't promise the smell would go away.

    I didn't get to have the surgery because of chemo/radiation but the smell comes and goes but was the worst during chemo. I plan to see the ENT as soon as I learn if I'm NED. (First I heard the term was on this site. I'm so glad I found it.)
