Temp with lung cancer & cancer spots on liver and in lymph nodes

Hi there my mum has been told she has a tumour on her lung and that’s it’s in her lymph nodes and spots on her liver.

she was rushed to hospital Sunday as she seemed delirious with heavy breathing and temp of 38. She was discharged yesterday but today has felt worse and was in bed most of the day. She is still on oral antibiotics but her temp was up at 38 again so I got her to go to the doc. She came home. Her temp is bk up tonight again even after paracetamol. She was feeling really cold despite the temp. Does anyone know if this will be because of the cancer or infection? She doesn’t want to go to out of hours as she has her biopsy in the morning. Plus she will be left in a corridor. I’m really worrying 

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    It sounds like symptoms from an infection, and not specific to cancer.

    It might be helpful to contact her GP and let them know how she is and they can advise. Just to say that for more urgent medical advice, rather than posting on this forum, it is probably better to contact NHS 111 out of hours for medical advice. They can arrange out of hours GP visits if necessary.

    I hope that this gets sorted out soon.

    Best wishes,

    Vanda
