Hi all, my Husband had his chemo cancelled due to a high temperature on Friday. The nurse said he would either have IV antibiotics or oral to take home. Unfortunately the Doctor disagreed and he was discharged.
By Saturday morning he had an awful productive cough and temperature so we had to go back to the Hospital. He had IV and came home with oral antibiotics and lower respiratory infection was diagnosed.
He was told to call the chemo unit today but sadly they never called to reply to his answerphone message.
We're completely in the dark as to when he can now have his 3rd FLOT and wondered if anyone has had this happen and what the time frame was to restart?
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.

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'.

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

Hi Jaxster,
How is you husband coping after his treatment?
