Hi ,  my cancer metasisized a yr and half ago and my immunatherpy was stopped after 12mths due to intense side effects so all treatment on hold . Over the last few months ive been getting horrendous night sweats leaving myself and my bed soaked. Has anyone had anything similar ? Any hints on how to deal with this would be very greatfully recieved 

  • Hi there.  
    My sister has night sweats since her cancer treatment and recommended my Bro something she found helps. My bro had prostate and has hormone injections which causes him to drip with sweat. Living in Spain it can be challenging 

    They both use a cooling blanket at night. He also has a portable small fan that goes with him whilst working and a small towel. 

    I think my sister bought hers in Aldi.

    She also has a cooling square that if she wakes hot she puts her wrists on it which she says it eases it I think she nicked that from her dogs. Dog
