THERMAL DISCOMFORT
Hello
First time on line, so hello to everyone.
I've had breast cancer diagnosed over last Christmas, had lumpectomy with removal of four lymp nodes, I was lucky Stage two, just completed radiation treatment. Half way through I became really hot. I would wipe the sweat of my forehead.
I'm experiencing extreme thermal discomfort, it's like I'm standing next to a bonfire with searing heat oozing out of my body equally throughout the body, then a couple of minutes later I'm cold. Like sunstroke, when the fan blows over you. So I'm not sleeping as the bedsheet is too cold then I put the blanket over me then have to remove it.
The experts say it is not to do with the radiation. I don't believe it, has anyone else experienced this and will it go away and what can I do?
Thankyou...
