Is there a 'smell' to cancer?

Less than one minute read time.

Hi, a strange question I know. A couple of months ago, as I kissed my mum goodbye,(before diagnosis), I noticed a strange 'smell', not unpleasant but indescribable, I commented to my husband that I'd never smellt it before, still cant describe it,  Mum has recently been diagnosed with sclc stage 4,

Today, I noticed the same 'smell' from my father, has any one heard of  this before? Dad has been quite poorly recently,. I'm fairly worried now that Dad may have cancer too.

Am I imaging it?  Or does cancer actually smell?
