A member asked:

Can you give me suggestions with cancer related night sweats?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Treat : Hi. Yes, generally, treating the cancer (usually leukemia/lymphoma in my non-oncologist perspective) will help the night sweats. I'm sorry you're going thru this. You're young. Hang in there, and I hope for a happy outcome.
