finished 6 RCHOP chemo for lymphoma. Have light sweats during the night and skin on chest and back feel wet during the day. PET scan was clear. Anyone experiencing the same? Any advice or thoughts?
Hi i had my last chemo in January and iam having hot sweats all the time plus iam very itchy all over i think it must be some kind of side effect from coming off the chemo.
Been having night sweats too, just had cycle 6 of R-Benda.
They're nowhere as bad as the drenching night sweats pre-diagnosis, so I'm not overly worried.
I have heard that we can have minor problems moderating body temperature, can feel cold in some parts and not in others, I suufer badly with cold legs from the thighs downward, yet roast on my torso.
I'm hoping that as time prgresses this will fade, along ith some of the other impacts of treatment.
Hi, I also was diagnosed last year with Lymphoma and went through chemo as well. I found out the day before X-mas I was cancer free. I started the chemo in June and finished in October. I also was having issues with sweating but I noticed It went away in February and I have not had any issues since then. I go back in May for a follow up PET scan but all seems good. I do go in every other month for a Rituxan infusion for the next 2 years but that actually makes me feel better because I know there giving me medicine to keep the cancer from coming back. I no that I was having hot flashes and sweats with the cancer and chemo but all that has went away. I would think as the chemo wears off you will notice the sweats go away. I feel for you and your family being so far away but all there prayers for you must have been answered because your cancer free now. I do no that staying very active helps out both mentally and physically. Good luck to you and stay positive. I use to find it comical when people told me that but I truly believe being positive is half the battle.............................
Hi. Hope u doing well!!! Yeah I had sweats for 2 weeks post chemo and was worrying, but now they gone. Received my last results on Wednesday so excited about it. Can live normal life again;)
Positivity sure helps though sometimes can be hard to find, I've struggled for about a fortnight though am getting support from a local Cancer Help Centre.
I have my final scan Tuesday and results Friday, so hope to join you with your celebrations :-)
I no everything will work out for you. It's hard getting the scan and waiting for the results. I got my scan done just before X-mas and I had to wait a few days for the results. All I could think about was the stupid cancer. After they called and told me I was cancer free I still found myself looking to the future and wondering when they would repeat the words back to me you have cancer. I realized about a few weeks after the results I am very lucky to be getting another chance at life and it was time to move on even though my life now revolves around going in for infusions every other month as well as getting my blood drawn every 2 weeks but again I can say I'm cancer free and I truly don't find myself thinking about the cancer anymore. I do a lot of walking now and try to make sure I enjoy the little things I always took for granted. Being positive is hard to do but you have to find a way to do it. For me it's my 2 boys. They make me so proud to be alive and to fight to stay alive. I refuse to let this cancer get me down anymore and no matter what were all going to die but it's the things we do between now and that day we take our last breath. Try to enjoy every moment you have. Don't stress the things you have no control over. Staying positive keeps you healthy. Remember if your doctors are like mine they should be letting you no if your results are not what you expect them to be then you might still have a little more fighting to do but you will eventually get to that point that your fighting for. There really good at beating Lymphoma or at least extending our lifes for a long time. Good luck to you and I hope this Friday is a celebration for you. Stay positive...............................Woody
