Hi everyone, I am struggling with awful night sweats, being woken up 4-5 times every night. I am into my 5th year on letrozole and suffering lots of the lovely side effects that come with it, joint pain, hot flushes, brain fog, anxiety, mood swings and especially night sweats. I was prescribed gabapentin which has helped during the day with the hot flushes, but unfortunately not the night sweats. Has anyone been prescribed anything else that works? As my cancer was ER+ I know there is a limit to what I can take to help. Thanks in advance.   

  • Hi there, this sounds so frustrating.   It might be worth having a chat with the lovely people at the Macmillan chat line to see if they can provide any advice or ideas. You can call them on 0800 808 0000 from 8am to 8pm daily. Best wishes
