Profuse Sweats

[Whitley55]

I have profuse sweats (had night sweats before I was diagnosed) not night sweats, even when the weather is cold. I sweat profusely from my head, face and upper body. Is this a symptom of Follicular NHL?

Drenching night sweats are one symptom of lymphoma. I believe it pertains to all types. Have you now been diagnosed with FL?

Thank you. I had night sweats but after being treated for Lymphoma it went away. Now I only have these sweats in the days. eg in winter I can be cold yet sweating

Are you female and peri-menopausal. Chemo can put you into menopause. I have similar "hot flashes" but not nearly as bad as before Dx of lymphoma and during treatment.

i don't think daytime sweats from NHL are common, what does your doctor/CNS say? I'd recommend you follow this up with them.

Yes it is common as the blood system is involved. I have Mycosis Fungoides and seat all the time in the day if I exert any energy. HATE sweating.

I too sweat like no tomorrow. I finally had a good Family Nurse Practitioner at Stanford's Cancer Center who said the sweating is because I have Mycosis Fungoides. This manifests in the skin, therefor it blocks the body's thermostat. Mine just drips like I just got out f the shower and have had a couple drops land on my mouth. It's very strange that the sweat is hardly salty. Don't know why it's not real salty like regular sweat.

I sweat too and my new Dr has no idea why. It's annoying but they said my cancer is in remission. I just don't know what to think. Hope someone has answers. God bless you
