Does anybody else get night sweats. I get them every night and I always wake up multiple times because of them. It''s so annoying because I am just dripping.

    Night Sweats
    Are you on a hormone blocker? I am and I think that is probably the cause of my night sweats. Mine aren't as severe as yours, but it does cause a very restless night...every daggone night. I suppose just having a hysterectomy would be a cause also.

    I get night sweats every night. Occasionally I am dripping wet but usually not quite that bad. I never know whether to blame it on the cancer or the hysterectomy causing menopause.

    Night sweats
    I get night sweats almost every night as well. I dio not get soaking wet, but I do sweat and especially with my bald head, I notice the sweat on my scalp. I used to be on hrt. My stand now is to just grin and bear it, I will never do hrt again, or soy again. Deb

    Yes
    I had horrible night sweats! I would wake up drenched. The good news - It did pass. I haven't had one in a while.

    Thanks for all the info. My doctor won't put me on hormone therapy because my cancer feeds off estrogen. I am thinking I get hot flashes due to surgically induced menopause. It's just so annoying and I want to sleep. Oh well at least my hair is growing back.

    Night Sweats
    I would actually have severe night sweats prior to knowing that I had OVCA. I thought they would continue due to the surgery, but I rarely have them now.
