What Causes Fever Post Chemotherapy?
I have breast cancer this my 3rd time this one is recurrance from a mastectomy 2 years ago.. I am having 4 rounds of TC chemo. The first 2 times I have ended up in the hospital from fever and bladder infection- next week I will be having the 3rd treatment but it seems like every evening I run a low grade fever of 99.4 then in morning it is down - is this normal ?

Hi
Fever post chemotherapy can be a dangerous thing and i would advise you to do an urgent blood and urine culture test.
If any growth is found in culture then sensitive antibiotics have to be started.
