Low temperature 6 days after chemo. Has anyone else had this

Hi my mum is 6 days after her 1st chemotherapy session, she had said in the last hour she has a feeling which she can't quite describe... her temp was 34.5, done again under other arm it was 35.6... she's wanting to leave it for an hour to check it again... anyone else had similar? 

  • Hello, and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear your mum is going through chemotherapy treatment and I can understand that the first treatment is always difficult as you don't know quite what to expect.

    As we are not involved in your mum's care and I am not sure what chemotherapy regime she is on I would advise you to give the chemotherapy helpline number a ring on the numbers she has been given where she had the treatment to ask their advice.

    It may be nothing at all but it is always best to check any symptoms with the team looking after her.

    I hope that helps.

    All the best,

    Catherine
