Hi all
I’m due to start chemo with the first infusion just over a week away
ive woken up with a cold this morning, and just thinking does treatment go ahead if you have a cold
thanks
Hi Nicky,
I've had colds before while on chemotherapy. I think as long as you are not feeling too poorly it's OK. I'm now on radiotherapy, got covid a couple of weeks ago and still carried on with treatment, just had to be the last appointment of the day, once everyone else is gone.
I hope you get over the cold quickly
