Night Sweats.....

3 Replies

Good Day! Almost 6 months out from RP...Gleason 9 (4+5).... 3 month PSA was 0.04! Getting ready for 6 month PSA in next 10 days... let the anxiety begin....

Quick question... I’ve been having night sweats about 3 to 4 nights a week over the past 3 weeks. Not taking any hormone therapy so somewhat confused/concerned about this. Also struggling with some nightmares around death from cancer but timing with night sweats is not aligned.

Anyone else experienced this? Appreciate any feedback....

When I was first diagnosed, I headed straight for psychotherapy, which helped me tremendously with my anxiety. Some therapists I've known compare a cancer diagnosis to PTSD - it can have similar effects on the body and mind - and dreams.

I have night sweats too, sometimes, but never connected that with my cancer. I thought it was menopause!
