Urine infection while having chemotherapy

Just about to start adjuvant chemotherapy, but recently diagnosed with a urine infection, can I still start the treatment? 

  • Hello and thank you for your post.

    You may have to wait for the infection to clear up before you start chemotherapy. The best thing to do now is to contact the chemo unit and let them know. They will tell you if you need to wait for treatment to begin.

    You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,

    Caroline
