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.

No, they started with the Taxol/carboplaten treatments, but may have been caused by the hysterectomy just before the chemo. They have gotten worse on this treatment plan. I had been using hormones up until several years prior to the hysterectomy. My Oncologist doesn't want me to use hormones and suggested a tylenol each night. Maybe gives just very slight relief. I'm scheduled to begin an Avastin maintenance plan in 3 weeks.
