I'm worried about my husband, he's 44 and came down with a headache a few weeks ago, he had pain behind his eyes was very tired & spent a whole day in bed and has since had a mild on and off fever which seems to have gone now but is continuing to have night sweats, they aren't quite as severe as they were (soaking through the sheets) but he's still clammy asks gets damp in the night which wakes him up.
Google always comes up with cancer so it's very concerning.
He had a full blood count done, his white cells and basophils are elevated but not super high, his iron looks normal so they're doing a fit test to check for blood in his stool and more bloods next week to see if his white cells come back down.
I'm really worried, any advice or words of comfort would be greatly appreciated

I don't think so no, hes cut back on caffeine and alcohol quite a bit but could probably drink more water

How is he now? Did you get to the bottom of this?
