I have finished my chemotherapy I am on a 3 monthly zoladex injection which I am told I will be on for the rest of my days.i get really bad sweats especially at night I had 7 in 5 hours last night is there anything I can do
Can I ask if you are being treated for a female or male related cancer as Zoladex can be used in either ? To reduce either Testosterone or Oestogen - also night sweats can be a symptom of some cancers.
Chances are either way this is probably tied in with hormone reduction which can mess up your bodies thermostat.
If you can get back to us with a little more info we can point you in the right direction to get experienced based replies.
I'm sorry. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer last December my PSA levels were extremely high so I was put on 3 monthly zoladex my levels are now excellent I have finished 6 chemotherapy sessions and my pelvis and hip has shrunk. My sweats are worse now
No need to apologise a lot of the same treatments are used for different cancers.
Noticed you have joined the Prostate Group (good move) If you start a new discussion asking about this you will soon get some replies as it is a common side effect.
I did a 'Night Sweats' search in the group and these are the messages that mention it (link) - it will give you something to browse while you wait replies in the prostate group. They may be able to offer some advice that helped them reduce the sweats.
