- Noidea
Can only suggest that you go to sleep on a towel with a change of night attire close by. Keep a jug of water and a glass next to the bed. This way you can change and get back to sleep with minimal fuss. Good luck and I hope it ceases soon. In my case, my oncologist could only suggest it happens as a side effect of the tumors, or possible infection.

I have a different cancer but this happens to me and now I sleep with a fan on at home and if I get hot I pull the blanket down and just sleep with a sheet and the fan on me

- Hope'n
JUST BE THERE for them...comfort them by telling them ..."You will be OK, i am here." Give the person a wet wash cloth and some ginger ale or 7-up...read them a feel good book...Just basically show them you care!! I am so very sorry...
