Night sweats again, thoughts??

Hi Ladies I am still in some pain from my debulking hysterectomy 11 weeks ago. I was told that it may take a good while for the pain to resolve, so I am okay with the slow progress. Here is my new isssue/worry, maybe you have some thoughts to share. So I am having a hard time thinking this is a result of the hysterectomy, although I always believed that the ovaries still helped a little way after menopause. I did have the same type of night sweats about 2 years ago which was most likely related to the lymphoma. So any thoughts. I know so many of you have had the night sweats after surgery. Did they start this many weeks after? I have not talked to any of my docs yet. I just have felt so overwhelmed. Any thoughts or advice is so welcomed. Thinking of you all and sending you big hugs... |

Hi Lisha, so sorry you are having such a rough time! I don't have OVC, but do have UPSC(Uterine) and had the hysterectomy 34 months ago. I have the sweats also...and mine didn't start til I was 18 months out of chemo and into NED! I had already gone through menopause several years before all this cancer stuff(I was 57 at dx and am almost 61 now). I mentioned it to my dr.who didn't think it was a big deal.All test cam back ok. All I do know is that once we have cancer, surgery, chemo,and radiation,our poor bodies are never going to be the same or as good.I never had hot flashes during menopause, but the sweat just pours off me (from head to waist) for no good reason! Oh well, just one more thing to worry about! Get some rest and try not to worry..whatever it is or isn't, we can't change it.
Best, debrajo
