One of the things chemo can do is give you symptoms of menopause. 2 of the loveliest of side effects are hot flashes and night sweats. I'll be going about my day, minding my damn business and BOOM hot flash. It's a crazy feeling. I'm just all of a sudden super hot. It doesn't last very long, but it's lame. Not as lame as a good night sweat, however. I've had night sweats before, but not like this. My doctor actually put me on medication to help stop them and it seems to be working. Once in a while though, a night sweat will sneak in, usually right after a treatment. I've been sleeping with the window open, in very little clothing and on a towel. I should be getting a call from Playboy any day now.
My fifth treatment is tomorrow and then only one left after that!! You guys should probably start thinking about what gifts you are going to get me. I like diamonds and houses.
