I have ovarian cancer

I have stage 4 ovarian cancer. Was diagnosed 19 months ago and completed 16 Taxol/Carboplatin treatments in Jan. Scans were clear then numbers started climbing and new scans revealed new tumors. Started Gemzar/Avastin treatments in August. One of my biggest problems now is night sweats, have to get up and change night cloths from 1 to 3 times a night. Anyone have any ideas for relief?

Hi @pat417, sounds like a hormonal reaction. If I remember correctly you had a hysterectomy. Did the night sweats only start since going on the gemcitabine and bevacizumab (Gemzar/Avastin) combination treatment or did they just get worse with the treatment? It must be so disruptive to have to change 1-3 times a night.
