anything to help with night sweats?

hey guys. just signed up to this form so i don't really know anything. don't even know where i'm writing to or if i'm making a new post, but that's ok for now. i'll probably get there:)

apparently decided to have stage 4 liver cancer about 5-6 months ago. seems like a pretty good hospital, pretty good doctors... all that was fine. was told about a 2-round, 3 sessions each immuno/chemo therapy plan. did one but did not find that enjoyable and said i would skip the 2nd round. in hospice now and not expecting a lot of time left. and i'm ok with all of that. just have a couple of "discomfort" issues that i'm poking around to see if anyone has had any luck getting rid of.

my pain level's generally pretty low right now, so one of my biggest annoyances is these night sweats. haven't really seen anything concrete about this. several places have said it can be due to liver cancer. anyway it probably doesn't even seem very terrible, but it's really pretty annoying to be woken up at night because you're cold and wet and have to get up an mop off and change clothes all the time. sometimes a couple times a night. gets very old an uncomfortable. i'm getting hints that taking a naproxen sodium at night seems to help a little, but more research is required :)

anyway, i'll just stick with that one question and see how this goes. i don't really have a lot of questions. willing to help people with issues but i am really a newbie so i don't have a ton of experience at all this stuff. just a round of hospital treatments and now hospice.

thanks in advance to anyone who wants to maybe chat some about stuff. and junk :)

Welcome & sorry for the short response (I'll do more later), but wanted to comment on night sweats. Several years ago this was a more severe problem for me & magnesium at bedtime made a big difference! The full sweats are uncommon now.
