Yes, what's being described sounds very much like it could be related to MALT lymphoma. Excessive sweating, feeling overheated, and then experiencing chills afterward are recognized symptoms associated with lymphoma in general.
These are often referred to as "B symptoms," which are systemic symptoms that affect the whole body. The three classic B symptoms are:
- Fever (above 100.4°F / 38°C)
- Night sweats or excessive daytime sweating
- Unexplained weight loss of more than 10% of body weight in under six months The cycle of sweating followed by chills is something many MyLymphomaTeam members can relate to. One member shared that they wake up drenched in sweat and then spend 30–40 minutes shivering afterward — which matches exactly what's being described here.
Doctors believe lymphoma can trigger sweating because cancer cells release certain chemicals into the body. Fever can also play a role, which would explain the chills that follow.
It's really important to let the care team know about these symptoms, especially if they're new or getting worse. B symptoms can influence how lymphoma is treated and managed.
