I have CLL and currently being treated with Calquence. My doctor said that night sweats are very common with leukemia. I just had a red cell transfusion to help with the fatigue because the reds are going down but the white cells are too which is a good thing. But the war inside my body is taking a toll. Hoping as time goes on things get better.

I have had the same outcome Teetogo. It's been 1 yr and 2 months in remission since transplant 6/23/24. I also battled will AML. I also pray for all have the same outcome. Remember you will get 2 different diagnoses, once from your doctor and one from God. God has a different diagnosis for every one of us. His diagnosis may be completely different than that of your doctor's.

I treat my "sweating" concern with a fan. The excess white blood cells can increase a person's body temperature. At night I use a fan to cool myself and I have been dry and very comfortable. At night my wife requires several blankets but she is "warm?" The less stress we have the better our health will be both physically and mentally. Celebrating Long Life (CLL)

I had sweats. I was using the ceiling fan and a small fan on a stool. I was waking up hot, sweaty, and a dry throat. Now I put a humidifier next to the small fan. Things are much cooler, I am sleeping much better, no sweating, and no dry throat!

Look for pajamas and sheets that are made with bamboo or other moisture wicking fabrics. Night sweats and menopause are two different things. When mine hit I get up and get water and sometimes go outside and look up at the stars. Night sweats are disrupting to your sleep. Good luck 👍
