 i have just had 7 hard chemo sessions to shrink my tumour which is in my bowel trying to get into my ovary.  I am due for surgery which is good news, however I am struggling with night sweats and I can't tell if i am over hot or too cold. Does anybody have some helpful tips for dealing with this? Its making me dread my nights, and bed shouid be a place of comfort.
