2nd round of EC and the whole house, including me, has been hit by a heavy cold that turns out to be covid. (Only tested because my son is profoundly disabled, medically vulnerable and and hospital tests were not picking anything else up to explain further complications)
Obviously my son is my main priority here but on top of my chemo I feel pretty rough. Keeping an eye on temp, DATs and BP et. And informed my oncology team. Trying to keep fluids and resting.
Just wondering how others had managed with a general illness on top of chemo?
