        He did have nightsweats leading up to the diagnosis. But they stopped the minute he started immunotherapy. We think it might have something to do with his Spleen… that is the one organ aside from lymph nodes that's affected.

          Thank you both… now my next question… he is also sweating when he takes any of these (Advil or tylonel) any thoughts or ideas of what could be causing that? We have an oncologist appointment on Monday. So we'll be bringing a lot of this up.

            Thanks. Very helpful. When I have time I'm gonna read up on your blog… it looks interesting. (Side note: I too love to sew.)

              Thanks! All of the docs and oncologists we've been seeing are wonderful and have high hopes he will beat this. It just feels like this came out of nowhere. And this coughing thing has him beyond frustrated. The one thing we are both trying to stay as positive as we can. I'm happy I found this website so I can find people who are going through this to bounce questions off of and get real people feedback and not just a basic medical response ( if that makes sense). I've read a lot about his treatment and I know it's gonna take some time, that it doesn't work overnight.
