What Causes Strong Odor From The Body?

Hi, for the last 2 months there is a constant odor a mix of sweet and decay odor. sometimes the smell is so strong it s like I am next to a garbage truck. I asked around nobody else smells this, it doesn t come for me either. I had invasive breast cancer 7 years ago and I am a bit worried. The odor is strong and disgusting
