Is SWEATING a symptom??

Don't know
I've had night sweating on some nights and then not on others - don't know what it means...been more at night than I can remember. But when it happens, I can sweat the pillow on both sides like a sponge.
It did happen to me almost nightly when I was in the hospitals after surgery and on pain medication. I figure it was the body's reaction to the surgery.
I have not had surgery recently and have been chemo over 6 months and still get nights like that.
Your question is more to daytime sweating it sounds like, so my answer is probably irrelevant to your post.0 -
Well, I've had night sweats
Well, I've had night sweats for YEARS! I'm like Craig, I can soak right through my night clothes and pillows, so I don't think it's a sign of liver mets. As a matter of fact, I had a terrible night sweat a few days ago and my PET/CT scan showed a clean liver. Now my lung is the issue...but definitely not the liver. And for the record, I'm not at the 'change of life' age yet either. Because that is a symptom of that also!

i c
Yeah i just saw somewhere that the liver is also involved in body heat regulation, and my mom has liver mets so i figure that one of the symptoms of someone with liver mets..its just weird to see on a not so hot day, she sees like she is always hot. She's like 65% of herself right now, somewhat weak and thinner, i think she lost like 15 lbs, from 118 to just around 103lbs or less...i hope she gets better..0 -

we are lucky to have moms like you since honestly, my mom really never complains about what she is dealing with and asked the reason "why me"...so she is a trooper...its really hard for me to complain about little things now since i know my mom can deal with it wit ease...but yeah my mom is like 103-105lbs now, i feel like she gained like 2 lbs...and im just hoping her next visit to the onco on monday provides another solution to her liver mets since the 5 chemo seemed to work on her colorectal, but now they are trying to get something to help her liver mets symptms...thanks!0 -
I don't sweat at al any more
My hair stopped growing under my arms, I no longer sweat at all. I am usually cold. I lost a lot of weight - from 140 to 97 lbs, now at 104 lbs. Maybe that's why i'm cold.
Plus the cancer center, chemo rooms are always freezing. I wear 2-3 blankets while getting infused.0 -
Sweating
Ever since chemo, which is a year ago, I find that I'm always hot. Before all this I never seemed to sweat at all and now it just drips from me, and I didn't have mets to my liver. While on chemo I was always hot and had horrendous hot flashes but even since I've finished, I notice that I'm still hot and sweat like I never did before. Thank goodness i don't have the hot flashes anymore, but my body temperature is definitely different. Well at least I don't find winters in NY as cold as I used to. LOL0 -
Sweating it out....
Hey Marc. Since chemo I have run rivers every day, and it's 2.5 yrs since I stopped treatment. Well, maybe menopause has something to do with that, too, but most folks I have talked to say their internal thermostats went on high due to chemo.
