Fever for 4 weeks. Hodgkins lymphoma

Hi 

Hope you're keeping well and safe. My dad was diagnosed with hodgkins Lymphoma in January and has had 4 treatments of CHOP chemo. He has had a fever for 4 weeks now and has been in hospital for over a week. They have done every test and given different abtibiotics but nothing seems to be working and they have no idea why his fever won't come down. His CRP levels are increasing daily, however they can't find much else. I am going crazy waiting whilst my dad just isn't getting better and still no answers.?

Is there anyone that has experienced the same?

  • Welcome to the forum Ambarin although I'm really sorry about your dad. I can't begin to imagine how difficult this must be for you.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar position will share their advice and experiences with you soon but I just wanted to let you know we're thinking of you and have our fingers crossed his medical team can figure this out soon.

    Best wishes to you both,
