Hi everybody. My husband has been diagnosed with a Non- Hodgkins Lymphoma, aggressive stage 1-2 B, and is due to have his 3rd chemo today. He is scheduled to have 6 chemos in all. My question is: His night sweats which he's had since before diagnosis are still continuing, despite having had 2 chemos. They have diminished in intensity, but he still has to change his pyjama top once during the night, and he still sleeps on towels.
I would have thought that the night sweats would have stopped by now. Has anyone else had a similar experience, and does this mean that the tumours that he has haven't been eliminated with the chemo? I know that a NHL can be quickly knocked on the head, so to speak with the chemotherepy....but the continuing night sweats are indicating something else I think.
Any feedback from you guys would be gratefully received.
Many thanks.
