My husband as woken up with a runny & a slight cough, a little mucas. Been advised by the Macmillan hotline to see GP for a sputum test/antibiotics today.
He's due his 2nd Keytruda next week & first Zometa, as his calcium levels were slightly low & Zometa delayed twice.
So yesterday his oncologist rung & said all his bloods taken on Tuesday all good & she was really pleased & bang he wakes up this morning with what sounds like a cold. He coughed once & bought up some mucas & thats it. His temps normal, no chest pain doesnt feel unwell. He just feels absolutely pee'd off that this as happened a week before his 2nd Immunotherapy & long awaited Zometa.
I've had a quick Google & it says if on antibiotics/cold/chest infection all treatments delayed.
As anyone else been in this situation as we are both worried sick at the thought of his treatment being delayed.
We've gone from being really pleased with blood test results going forward to this within 24 hours...
Hi Tillyboo
I'm sorry to read that your husband has come down with a cold just before his next treatment.
I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you post this in the lung cancer group as you'll then connect directly with others who have the same type of cancer as your husband.
I hope he soon gets over his cold.
Me & technology. I thought I did. I keep making this error, sorry.
