Lung cancer with brain mets

My husband has started excessively sweating when he’s sleeping the last two days he’s gone for an afternoon nap and the sweat is running down his face like a tap. Really bad. I’m not sure what to do is this a progression sign? Does he need to see the doctor straight away or can I wait till Monday? 

  • Welcome to the forum Kedi, although I'm sorry to hear about the excessive sweating your husband has started to experience when he's gone for an afternoon nap.

    I just wanted to let you know that our cancer nurses don't work at the weekend, so if you're worried and are wanting some medical advice about this today, it would be best to reach out to your husband's medical team if you have contact details for them, your out of hours GP, or the NHS on 111 as they will be able to advise and hopefully put your mind at ease. 

    I hope this general information we have about how to deal with sweating will be useful as well.

    Kind regards,
