Hello Patriciamary and welcome to Cancer Chat.

I'm really sorry to hear about your night sweats and how much of an impact they are having. 

Hopefully some of our members who have also had this issue will be along soon to share their experiences and advice but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to help.

I hope some of the tips and advice on our website will help you find a way to manage the sweating as well.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hi Patricia, my hubby who was diagnosed with a testicular tumour end of January has the most awful night sweats! Like you,  the bedding is saturated and needs changing, he’s never suffered this before so wondered if it was a symptom?? 

I am so sorry to hear about your Husband. From what I've learned, it's a hormonal thing in the body that causes the sweats. I've tried to cut down on the amount of liquid I drink, but it's made no difference. Even having a hormonal injection every 4 weeks, hasn't made any difference either. I just don't know what to do. I'm hoping that if I can have an operation to remove the tumour, the sweats will go, but I'll have to see what the Dr. says.
