Hi again, Stepson was running a high fever with chills, now it is below normal 95 - 97. It has been fluctuating for a week. First thought it was a bug. Finally Sunday they did lab work. Dr. has him on penicillin waiting for lab results. He is on maintenance chemo and avastin every 2 weeks. We;re into 3rd week now because of scheduling problems. Supposed to have chemo next Mon. Anyone with experience with this. Port looks fine, no redness or soreness. Thanks again for all the help from this site!!!!

Hi Jan! Has anyone told you that's an unusual thing to have a temp that low? Mine is very typically around 96, 97 degrees, and my nurses never comment on it, so i never assumed it was a big deal. I don't know how low a temp has to be before it's dangerous. I would definately call one of his nurses and ask.
Hope this helps!
