Colds and chemo questions
My three year old has very kindly shared her latest cold with me and today my nose is pouring and throat burning.
As I'm going through chemo and my immune system is down anyway, should I be worried...
So sorry to hear that. I have just had round 4 in my chemo with 4 more to go and came down with a sore throat just before my 2nd chemo thanks to my 5yr old. This turned into a very nasty virus that I am still battling 7 weeks later. I ended up with 2 ear infections and a chest infection.
You might be lucky and it might just be a cold but keep an eagle eye on it as you body cant fight things normally. My friend had a cold and that it all it ended up being. I hit the jackpot! Because I ended up with infections my temp went up and I ended up in hospital on 2 occasions so keep an eye on your temp.
Good luck
