Customer question:
Could excessive sweating all over the body be a side effect of chemotherapy for leukemia treatment? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Excessive sweating all over the body can, in some cases, be a side effect of chemotherapy in treating leukemia. Chemotherapy is a powerful form of cancer treatment that targets fast-growing cells, which also includes healthy cells. This type of treatment can cause various side effects, including excessive sweating.
In addition to the above, leukemia as a disease state can cause other symptoms such as fever, night sweats, fatigue, and other general problems. Therefore, it can be difficult to distinguish whether excessive sweating is caused by the leukemia itself or is related to the side effects of chemotherapy.
If you notice sudden or significant excessive sweating during leukemia treatment, it is essential to inform your doctor. The doctor will be able to assess whether this is related to the treatment itself or perhaps to some other factor. It can also offer you options for symptom relief or tailoring your treatment to your needs.
