I had my chemo on Tues, as I do every week. Yesterday felt pretty good but last night started having chills. Finally checked my temp and it was 100.6. Didn't worry about it but kept checking about every 30 mins and it got up to 101.9. I know that I should have gone to the ER but my onco was not on call and my local ps wasn't in town. So, I took some ibuprovin and slept. I did call my onco this am and am waiting to hear what she wants me to do. But, I have decided that whatever it is can be done at home! lol

Be careful and take care of yourself and do what the doctor tells you. Temps don't go up that high for nothing. You could also dehydrate and cause more problems to your system. Let us know what is happening, but listen to the dr first. Hugs MK
Don't know what drugs you are on but I had my chemo on Mon. or Tues.'s and by Thursday - I always was running a temp and felt like I had the flu - multiple aches and pains - and extremely worn out. The first treatment was the worst - I seemed to get over it quicker with most of the others. Maybe that will help, maybe not. Always tell you onc!

My onco called. I am going to go have some bloodwork done at our local hospital lab and see if it shows anything. She thinks that it might be from the herceptin. I always have to take an ibuprofin before it is administered. Even though I have been on this chemo for about 18 mos, I guess there is always that chance. My chemo nurse told me that if the temp spiked again tonite that I was to go to the ER immediately. She also said that she knew that I unless I really felt badly that I wouldn't so to just watch and play close attention to my body. Hmmmm, seems that after 5 yrs they think that they know you pretty well. lol
