Hi all
had first cycle of TCHP yesterday. Rash on chest and face and temp around 35.7 all day. Called helpline but they said was ok- just bit worried about the low temperature and wondering if anyone else had this. They said not a worry re sepsis as too close to treatment. Horrible metallic taste in mouth and exhaustion this afternoon but otherwise not too bad so far
thanks
We’re all different Som65 but my temp was Always around 35.7 was surprised if it reached 36 but as I was well otherwise and unit was happy I learnt to treat it as my norm .
just keep an eye on it and any other symptoms and don’t worry if you feel the need to cantact your unit for reassurance .
Thanks Margaret, I think I will settle down once get into it. Just panicky as all new and wondering what symptoms will occur. Am keeping positive as can.
appreciate reply. Kim
You’ll be fine Som65 as I said we’re all different and it does depend which one your on . Have a browse thru the March Chemo thread .if you check out the hints link at the top you might find some useful info .
Chemo is not easy but our imaginations can build it up just remember it’s doable . I always used to say if I felt rough it was because chemo was kicking cancers AR**
