Hi - this is a weird question but I want to know if anyone else has ever experienced it. My husband has throat cancer and has had two rounds of chemotherapy. Each treatment is 6 hours, two days in a row. I sit with him in the treatment room, where there are probably 20-30 other patients receiving treatment.
Both my husband and I experience slight dizziness and a pressure type feeling in our heads - very much like the feeling you get when on a plane and the cabin pressure changes. Our son visited during treatment and he commented on feeling the same thing - having no idea that my husband and I felt this weird "pressure" feeling as well. After treatment, my husband has the expected side effects, one of which is a very unusual and somewhat bad smell with urine and bm - 48 to 72 hours after treatment. Totally normal. But here's the thing - I also have the same exact smell in my urine and bm for the same time frame. It's not from food we may be eating - my husband is tube feeding and I am of course not. It's not a "leftover" smell, we aren't even using the same bathroom. The second round of chemo caused both of our symptoms I describe to be equally worse than the first time. What is going on? Has anyone else experienced this?
