Hello,
has anyone ever experienced night sweats? I've had them on and off before my cancer, and over the past few years. This past week, as the weather is getting hotter, its been brutal. Every night. I'm scared about progression. Thanks for your input.
Dx Stage IV Her +, April 2015 with collapsed lung-mets to lung, liver, questionable bone, and some nodes
Chest tube placed to relieve 5 liters of fluid in right lung
1 round of cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin until tumor biopsy confirmed Her2+
May 2015-began taxol/herceptin/perjeta
chest tube removed
3 lung taps to remove continued fluid problem and shortness of breath
September 2015- plural tube placed in lung
Continued with taxol/herceptin/perjeta
Scans slowly improved
December 2015-discontinue Taxol due to increased neuropathy in feet and hands
February 2016-plorax drain removed, fluid issue resolved. Bottom of right lung remains collapsed, but feels ok.
Continuing on herceptin/perjeta
(lost 5 year old daughter to neuroblastoma in 2011 after a 2.5 year battle)
