Drowning in sweat!

Can anyone suggest something to help with the sweats? I had them throughout chemo and they are worse now I'm on Letrozole. Literally drowning in sweat the minute I get out the house and start walking - even though it's freezing in Melbourne right now! Don't get them at night, just when doing any kind of physical activity, however gentle.

    @kmakm what will I do when my hair grows back and I can no longer enjoy the sweet sweet relief of arriving home, removing my wig and sitting quietly letting my baldy head gently steam as the sweat evaporates?!

    @kmakm I got to my radiotherapy appointment this morning and the radiologist asked if I had run all the way there (I didn't, just walked/trammed), that's how sweaty I was.
    You have my utmost sympathy for having to deal with it at night!

    I'm the reverse! Drenched at night. I've never been a sweaty person. Ghastly!
