Am I paranoid?

Less than one minute read time.

Hi there, I had my first ABVD chemo last week for hodgkins, feeling really well but I had a tracking cannula site last night so we monitored my temp. It went to 37.4 then reduced on its own. I was given lots of advice about taking my temp if I feel unwell. If I feel well is there a need to monitor my temp or not??

I am worried I’ll become paranoid about it!,,

    Hi

    I’ve always been told while on treatment to check my temp once a day but if I’m honest I check morning and night! It’s better to be safe than sorry. Anything above 37.5 just give them a call for advice. Good luck with your treatment x
