Chemo while on antibiotics

I would think likely you may have to delay as your bloods might show infection.

One thing to ask and don't want to frighten you - Have you checked the antibiotics you have are compatible with your anti sickness meds. Only asking because I got given some and when (curious as I am) I checked them out on NHS website it turned out that had i used my prescribed anti sickness meds they could of reacted with the antibiotics. So I had to call my red card team and get alternative anti sickness meds. They said could of cause heart palpitations! 

Hi

I caught a throat infection and sinus infection just before my second EC cycle and was put on a 5 day antibiotics. After a discussion with my team I still went ahead with the second cycle as the infection went.

I then caught another infection a few days after 2nd cycle and before last EC and was put on iv antibiotics and then a 7 day antibiotics. My team still went ahead with the 3rd and last cycle and concerned with immune system being practically none existent.

I did have lengthy discussions with the oncology team as I had concerns too.

All I can say is talk to your team

Take care x

It depends on your bloods. I’ve had 2 x antibiotics for UTI and 1 x antibiotics for chest infection while on chemo. Each time it went ahead. I got the impression the bar is reallly high for them not to go ahead - they’ll get it in you whatever!
