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?

  • Hi there and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear about your husband. I hope you were able to contact a doctor over the weekend to get him and this sweating checked out as suggested by the moderator Steph.

    Not all symptoms are due to disease progression but sometimes can be linked to the cancer treatment and side effects or a viral infection ( especially at this time of year).

    Do get back in touch if needed or feel free to call us on 0808 800 4040, week days 9-5 ( apart from bank holidays)

    Take care
