Hi, my partner who has stage 4 lung cancer with mets was only diagnosed in June of this year, and as now started on a Maintenace course which consist of 2 bags every 3 weeks so far Sean had had one session which was 2 weeks ago, but he is constantly suffering from cold sweats which are driving him crazy and really effecting his mental health,
Can anyone please tell me if these cold sweats are normal, when you go onto a Maintenace course. i spoke to the oncologist the other day and he said it could be the oxycodone which originally Sean was taking 60mg so now it has been reduced to 40mg but still the cold sweats are still happening
Thanks
Netty
