    Call your Doctor Pepe, best
    Call your Doctor Pepe, best to keep them informed and let them tell you if it's anything to be concerned about or not. I'm sitting here with a 100 temp right now, and there are alot of virus going around to be sure, but I'm going to get it checked out anyway just to make sure it's not sinus infection or bronchitis(?) Better to nip it in the bud!
    Take care, let us know.

    Pepe:
    This happened to George while on Folfox. Threw a fever over the weekend of 100/101. I called the oncologist and the doc on call said to give him 2 extra strength Tylenol. In about a half hour the fever reduced and went away. We were advised if the fever did not come down or went up, to head over to the ER. The doc called back about 2 hours later to check up on George and we just told him the fever went away and George felt ok. He asked a bunch of questions and said sometimes this just happens.

    George didn't feel particularly bad, he just felt "yucky". The fever never returned and there was really no explanation. It only happened the one time.

    My suggestion, call your onc's office and see what they say. A fever can mean any number of things but since you are on active treatment better be safe than sorry.

    Take care and I hope you feel better - Tina

    Tis the season
    Seems like this is the time for cold and flu, so best take care of yourself.

    If you have either they may want to wait on the blood work a few days until you are better.

    I am still battling this cold or whatever it is. How about joining me for some chicken soup...they say it will cure what ails you!

    Hugs and hope you feel better soon,

    Hope it is just a virus that passes quickly. Get some extra rest and drink lots of fluids. Glad you called the doc.

    Hi Pepe, I hope that you are

    Hi Pepe, I hope that you are feeling better soon - but, yes, it sure does sound like the flu. :-( But like Tina mentioned, a couple of Tylenol will probably help to reduce the fever. Feel better.... Hugs, Cynthia
