Hi
My husband has been diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma of the liver (Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD)) and he suffers from excessive sweating. Is there anything that he can take to help with this.
Many thanks

Hello and thanks for your post,
I am sorry to hear about your husband's situation. I can understand that this must be a very uncomfortable symptom.
We do have a page which has tips to help with sweating and there are sometimes medications that can help ease the symptoms. I would encourage him to talk to his haematologist to see what they advise as they are involved in his care and know what medication he is already on.
Do have a look at our page here
You may also find it helpful to chat to Lymphoma Action. They also have a forum and it might be helpful to chat to others and find out whether they have any suggestions as to what works for them. Have a look at their details here
I do hope that as time goes on this symptom may improve.
You are both more then welcome to ring and speak to one of the helpline nurses. Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
Best Wishes,
Catherine
Thank you. I will certainly see what the links can help with.
