Hi guys, well it's been 2 weeks now since I had my Nephroureterectomy, all seems well except for one thing, I have started to have the most awful night sweats, I have never had these before, could they perhaps be a side effect from the surgery itself or maybe from the daily blood thinning injections?  Had anyone else experienced this? Grateful for any input.

  • Oh yes, the night sweats!  A lot of forum members have these from a variety of cancers.  I had these back in April/May but I'm on immunotherapy, not a nephrectomite.  Speak to your CMS and they'll be able to give you something.  Mine preceded my immunotherapy going a bit bleugh and I took a short course in steroids.to get me back on track.  Not had a drenching night sweat since although sometimes I am a bit clammy.  

    I think it's because your body is fighting what's going on in your system, and it's trying to cool down, hence the sweat to get rid of the heat.  

  • Thanks Mmum! just seemed strange that I now have a cancer symptom after they allegedly just removed the cancer....
