Temperature

Hi @ Grandmasgirls

It’s not a case of should you be worried - you are . You have just had your first chemo and everyone is different . Phone the helpline number you have been given , just speaking to someone will help you . Remember they are working and they want to help you . They may get a nurse to call you and treasure you . 

Mid you have already phoned them , then just do as they say but call back sooner if you want to . You could busy yourself by packing a bag - JUST INCASE, or just potter about . 

If they ask you to go to the hospital don’t do what we did and leave the bag a home . Nobody wants to go to Hotel NHS but they have lovely nurses and doctors , hopefully everything will settle for you and you will be able to go to your own bed . 

Take care 

love

Hello , 

I can't help you with the rights and wrongs, the how things should be or shouldn't be etc.  

I will say, I totally agree with Ruby Rose, you are worried, and you need reassurance.  It is no good waiting around for another hour to take temperature again and worrying during this time.  

Back a bag, like Ruby Rose says and phone and see what they say.

I could be this is normal for you, or the dose may effect you more than someone else, or it needs a little time to settle down, but, remember this is 'new' to you and your body, so be kind to yourself and phone your nurse and ask her for advice.  

You need to be looked after and watched over, please phone them.

In the meantime sending you love and hugs xxx
