Hi

does anyone else have hot sweats at night? I’m waking up soaking from head to toe. It’s very uncomfortable and not very pleasant for my partner either xx

  • Unfortunately yes. It has been steadily getting worse since I started chemo.

  • Hi  

    Can you tell us a little more about your diagnosis and treatment? As you are posting on the TNBC forum I am assuming you are being treated for TNBC so won’t have been prescribed oestrogen suppressing medication. I don’t know whether you were menopausal or peri-menopausal when this started but maybe chemo is putting you into menopause?

  • Yes I had to have windows open during the night all through winter and overheated all the time while in treatment for TNBC and for some time after. I finished all treatment last October (now all clear), and have recently stopped being so heat sensitive. 

  • Yes hot all through the night especially my face WearyI’m on EC chemo 

  • Thank you all I’m having my last chemo treatment for tnbc and then surgery. My hot sweats are keeping me awake. I’m shattered all of the time.
