Hi has anyone had to wait 2 weeks for chemotherapy cause they had a infection
Yes, 10 days, whilst undergoing Chemo. last year. I had a tooth infection & had to have antibiotics. My Chemo was stopped immediately, then resumed when my medication was stopped. It's common - as antibiotics can interrupt with your immune system.
