Hi Folks
I’m nearly into 3 weeks of being on the targeted drug therapy and boy it’s not been great. I started with a fever last weekend and every night my temperature peaks which manages to go do eventually. I then feel terrible the following day. Has anyone else experienced this ? Any advice please ? Very grateful for any responses. It’s really getting me down ! Thanks very much
