Why have your night sweats worsened after your 4th round of chemotherapy?
It's understandable to feel concerned when symptoms change during treatment. Night sweats can actually be a side effect of chemotherapy itself, not just a lymphoma symptom. Some people experience increased sweating after their chemotherapy treatments begin or intensify.
The good news is that as you complete treatment and your lymphoma improves, the sweating often decreases over time. A MyLymphomaTeam member who finished six rounds of R-CHOP shared: "I still have night sweats, but they seem to be getting lighter."
Here are some strategies that might help you manage the night sweats:
* Lower your bedroom temperature
* Use a fan for extra air circulation
* Place a towel over your bedsheets
* Wear cotton pajamas in light layers you can easily remove
* Use waterproof sheets or a mattress protector
* Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods
* Stay well-hydrated throughout the day
It's important to let your healthcare team know about this change in symptoms, especially since they're getting worse. They can help determine if there's an underlying cause and may be able to adjust medications or suggest additional strategies to help you feel more comfortable.
