Colds

Hi just on my last batch of keemo never had colds (as such) only.....let's say shivers for a day or so before I cancer. Had my first keemo then stomach removed then on my second batch of keemo last one next Thursday. Now I know your immune system goes down but looks like I've got a virus e.g chest at first runny nose, cough, now this might sound strange but I've only just realised. Can I take normal flu stuff off the shelf or should I contact my hospital, temps been pretty normal through out this....sorry for the long

    Hi Alf ...... gosh you have been through the mill Sir!  Having been on chemo several years, please believe I do know the score re viruses etc.  You need to contact your chemo team asap because as non-severe your symptoms seem, they will probably need to get you on anitbiotics so that it doesnt develop further.  So please call them today - before the holiday weekend begins!  If a temperature develops - straight to A and E!    Hope you feel better soon x

  • Sorry don't want to mislead you ! Not been on keemo for several years got diagnosed sept last year..... But will contact Weston park today cheers nigel
