    Is there anything a person can do to control night sweats? Since hubby started the dabrafenib and tramentinib he’s having awful night sweats.

      I had night sweats on those drugs as well. I took the combo for 11 months. I didn't find anything that reduced the sweating. Lots of fresh pjs and frequent bed changes. I also added an electric blanket to my bed so that when I was soaked and freezing, I could warm up faster.

      Sorry about the night sweats.  My husband has this also.  A friend has just recommended Wicked Sheets and bed clothes to us.

      Not tried ourselves yet but our friend (who has a different type of cancer but suffers badly from night sweats) swears by them.

      Hope he gets some relief soon
