Members shared their experiences with night sweats during RCHOP chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with several confirming that sweating and temperature dysregulation are common both during treatment and as a symptom of the disease itself. Many members described feeling intensely cold followed by drenching sweats, sometimes accompanied by fevers up to 103 degrees, with one member emphasizing that these symptoms persisted even without treatment, confirming them as part of the lymphoma. A recurring theme was the importance of finding practical comfort measures, with one member highly recommending a BedJet cooling and heating system that eliminated nighttime sweat episodes and allowed uninterrupted sleep.

I have sweats and am very cold at times. I will wake up wet with sweat and will just be freezing. I will have fever, up to 103 at times. With some of my chemo I will get cold hands and then just start shivering and they have to stop the chemo for a little while.

We need to shake up your husband and I up in a bag and we'd be "normal!" Thank you for your response
