Been Treated By Chemo-radio For Vocal Cord Carcinoma. Excessive Perspiration. Explain Sweating?
I have treated ( by chem-oradio only) right vocal cord carcinoma last year and 5 mg, twice /24 hours Prednizolone tablets have been administered. Recently I experience excessive sweating on the back of my neck only, in my hair . I am 72 and have HBP and take HBP control medication. Could you tell me what is the reason for my occasional sweating as explained?

Hi, Chemo radiation for vocal cord carcinoma is a strategy known as organ preservation which is being used for carcinoma larynx. The sweating you are asking about seems to be unrelated to your disease or treatment, in case your disease is gone. Please consult a physician and get his/her opinion as unlikely to be because of Carcinoma larynx. Regards
