Has anyone had chemo delayed due to high temperature

Hi Jaxster373 

I'm sorry to read that your husband has been poorly recently and that this has meant that his chemo has been cancelled. I'm hoping that you've since managed to speak to the chemo unit to find out when his next infusion will be.

I'm not a member of this group but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your husband's diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

Thank you so much. I will update the profile now

Hi Jaxster, 

Did you Husband receive his third treatment?

HI,

They wouldn't let him have it done for another 2 weeks so it's now tomorrow. His swallowing had improved but has now deteriorated again

Tomorrow after treatment there may be another improvement, the delay would have had some bearing on the deterioration,  but hopefully once regular treatments are in place, the swallowing will greatly improve.

Best of Luck

Thank you so much, we're keeping everything crossed x

Hi Jaxster,

How is you husband coping after his treatment?

Hi, he's struggling with fatigue and has lost his taste so everything tastes awful. He falls asleep around 7pm and then is such an effort to get up in the mornings but he's a trooper and takes the dogs out for long walks to keep up his fitness and keeping everything crossed the surgery can go ahead x

Hello. 

Between my second and third FLOT I became quite ill and was admitted to hospital with neurogenic  sepsis. I was there for 3 weeks, after I was home I was given another 2 weeks to recover before going back to chemo. It all meant quite a delay  but I got there in the end. I've now had surgery and am getting ready to have another round of FLOT.

I hope your husband is better now. From my own experience it seems that a delay doesn't affect the outcome. I hope it all works out for you both.

Thank you so much for letting me know your experience.  Its really lifted us as we thought it would have a negative response by the delay. Where did you have your surgery done and are you feeling OK now? X
