My fiancé was doing really well after 2 months on Dab and Tram, and his first scan showed the tumours in his lung and liver had gone, and the tumour in a lymph node in his chest had reduced. Just after he started getting a cough, then the shivering and shaking started on Christmas Eve, he couldn't eat much of his Christmas dinner and in the afternoon the shivering, shaking started again followed by feeling hot red face and sweating, and a temperature of 38°.
We couldn't get through on his cancer hotline, so gave him paracetamol, and later ibuprofen which helped. Boxing day 7am he started again with the shivering, shaking then hot and high temperature. I got through to his hotline who advised immediate A& E admission. He is currently in hospital now with pneumonia and we are very worried. His cancer team are back in the office on 29th so hoping to get more advice about whether this is a side effect, whether he can continue with Dab and Tram....... Again its the waiting that's worst.
