Anyone experienced raised temperature after first chemotherapy session?
Hi this can be a sign of infection or something called neutropenia. It’s really important to get this checked as soon as possible. Anything over 38 degrees xx
Hi, definitely worth a call to your nurse, just for reassurance as infection is always someone to be extra careful for as the immune system is low after chemo. Best wishes
