Night sweats

For the last 2-3 years I have had terrible nights sweats. They started off, not too bad, but have got to the stage now of getting up two or three times a night to change bedding, and night dresses.

In October 23, after numerous tests I was diagnosed with an Neuro Endocrine tumour on my small intestine. It measures 21 x 26 mms. Nothing has spread from it.

I have no pain or discomfort anywhere, only these dreadful night sweats.

I also have a nurse come in my home every 4 weeks to give me an hormone injection.

I wonder if there is anyone on cancer chat, who can advise me, re: the nightly sweats.

I have written to my Dr. asking for an operation. She will see what the next scan will show, and if nothing has spread, will consider it.
