For some "reason" I was under the impression that wearing perfumes was a
"no no" after being diagnosed with bc.  I thought I had read it on here
and quickly changed to only wearing corn starch baby powder even for
under my arms.

Today, while at my Onc's visit in which I only got to see his nurse
assistant (you know these new "almost like" doctors who are now seeing
patients instead of doctors) and asked her if I could wear perfumes.
She said "of course!" and you can also wear deodorants, too!"  

Soooo...... would any of you advise me what you have been told by your
Oncologists?  Are perfumes and deodorants ok for bc patients even if
they have had to have a lot of lymphnodes removed?  

I have no idea where I got the idea that I couldn't but I may have
misunderstood something I read here or someplace else.  Thanks for any
information you can share about this.  I would love to be able to go
back to wearing a dab of nice perfume.
