Is sweating during sleep a side effect of radiation therapy

Posted by roxanne43 @roxanne43, 6 days ago

I had SCC and surgery and radiation in 2024. Experiencing trouble swaliowing from radiation as well as the thick mucus etc' Latest thing is awaking in morning and having been sweating during early morning hours. Is this another late term effect of the radiation.

@michael1129 I had an old-time military MD diagnosis me and I verified the diagnosis via a second opinion. This was 30 years ago. The doc was straight forward, he did not give me options. That I appreciated. I felt confident in him because of his vast experience. Today I believe it was divine intervention because doctors don’t talk that way to patients. He said if you don’t follow my instructions I won’t be your doctor. He told me I needed surgery and radiation. He said you only want to do this once, do everything you can do once to give you the best possible outcome. You don’t want this to come back because the cancer will.
