My oncologist told me when I get the sweats and hot flashes he said my body is fighting off a virus. With a weak immune system it happens all the time.

Is this a possible indicator that the cancer is advancing? I'm not in treatment yet and follow up isn't until october

Yes, some people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) experience problems with body temperature regulation. This can include severe sweating, night sweats, and feeling feverish. These symptoms are related to the immune system's response to the cancer, as it may be weakened and fighting off infections more intensely Show Full Answer

Yes, some people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) experience problems with body temperature regulation. This can include severe sweating, night sweats, and feeling feverish. These symptoms are related to the immune system's response to the cancer, as it may be weakened and fighting off infections more intensely. Additionally, the immune system might raise body temperature in an attempt to kill cancer cells.

I am also very concerned with insurance covering treatment for my CLL . Right now I’m in stage 0 but time will come to start meds and then what?! Fight with Medicare insurance or , looking for grants etc???? It is not a pretty picture. Not only we are fighting horrible disease but on top we are burdened with financial aspect. I really hope my doctor will know what to do!
