Fever after Chemo

[gah_70]

I had my fourth of six chemo treatments for ovarian cancer last week.  So far, I have not had any serious problems other than soreness in my feet and legs.  But tonight, I thought I was feeling a little strange, and took my temperature.  It is 100.2.  I have my weekly appointment for blood work on Tuesday, but I am wondering if I should be concerned enough to go to the ER sooner.  I am not experiencing any pain other than the usual soreness.  Anyone have any advice?

I think I would wait until tomorrow to go in; maybe the temp will be down.
Of course, if you are feeling worse, then you need to go in.
This whole thing is scary; or it was and is for me.
Getting past your fourth treatment is a real accomplishment, so congratulations!
Make certain you do all the things you know you need to do to stay healthy as possible. Be good to yourself and listen to that little voice inside; that is where your truth and knowledge lies.
Good luck and be true to yourself.

My white blood cell count was 0.05, real low, I would call your Dr asap I had to be in hospital for three days had shots daily to increase white blood cells, be careful
