Fever
Any of you ladies experience fevers after chemo ?
After both chemo treatment, I have developed a fever 5-7 days later. No source of infection found the first time. Treated with antibiotics and went away in a few days. Currently have fever again, after second treatment. Initial tests ok, waiting on blood cultures to come back
It‘s frustrating to have to go to ER every time.

No fever
But my doctors were very emphatic to immediately get help if I did get a temp over 100.4. I guess it is very common due to obvious impared immune system.

We get overwhelmed with chemo and radiation side effects, and it is so hard to cope with them especially during active treatment. The extra hassle of being forced to go to the ER is just more thing to deal with, I am sorry you have had to deal with this but we are here to listen. Your question was a good one as it is a complication that some have had to deal with.
