    Please do ring your oncology team if you are afraid - there is an 'on call' group available 24/7.  All I can say to you is make sure  you keep taking your temperature and if it goes up, get down the hospital, phoning them first to let them know.  The most bitter tasting medicine always has been the best.  Ann x

    Hi Blue70,

    Please take Ann,s advice. Keep your eye on your temperature. If you are worried at all phone for an ambulance. Its better to be safe than sorry.  Good  Luck.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx
