Hello lovely people
Does anyone know if scented candles are ok to use with stage 4 lung cancer? (recently diagnosed but have so many clogging up space)
Thanks for reading
Hi Jojodagooner I certainly haven’t been told that I can’t use scented candies. I think the only thing would be if you are allergic to the scent ?
Hi Chellesimo
Thank you, I have so many (I will give away some) but some are a nice scent. I wont have them on long tho.
Thank you for taking time out to respond.
I’m very sensitive to any scent it can make me cough, but I find the plug in air fresheners the worst! If I go into any house that has a plug in I am coughing like crazy! Hate it.
