Hi,
I am new to the forum and would like to resolve my issue of night sweating.
This started part way thru my 6 BCG instillations.
My surgeon offered no advice.
As it turned out I needn’t have had the BCG treatment as a change in Urologist revealed an aggression tumour and I subsequently had my bladder and prostate removed.
I would dearly like to find a reason and solution for my problem. It seems that it is not a case of night sweats being unheard off, as it is listed as a known symptom on a number of medical websites.
Can other members please offer a solution.
I have just spent a week in hospital and underwent multiple blood tests, CT and PET scan, and a heart echo test. I am eagerly awaiting the results.
Thank you for your feedback.
PS, The other issue that I have recently heard about is the need for hormone replacement once the prostate is remove. It this the case ?
Thank you, Barry
Hi bazzz
As you’ve had your prostate removed, you might find it helpful to join the prostate group and pose your question there and ask too about hormone replacement therapy. These topics are often discussed in that group and this is the link-
My father in law had his bladder and prostate removed as he had 2 separate cancers, but does not take hormone replacement therapy-not even when he was initially diagnosed. However, they are a very knowledgeable group in the prostate cancer group and may have some advice for you.
