Have the beginnings of a cold and have chemo today

That's a bummer @IlonaC - ring the Onc nurses & talk it over with them. 

Ask them if you could take an antihistamine to try & dry it up?  I'd be surprised if it isn't postponed .... 

Do you have a temperature?  There is still plenty of Covid around (sadly) so maybe do regular tests too xx

Take care & I hope you feel better soon.

Hi @IlonaC,

When is your chemo? I know exactly how you feel - I got sniffles and twinge of sore throat before my second chemo and was all worried about messing up my schedule. I just kept reminding myself to take this one step at a time and accept that at some point I might have a session shifted!

Thankfully it faded away so was probably hayfever - I suspect the gargling (with salt or bicarbonate) that we’re told to do with chemo might help throats too.

Additionally I read online about people being able to still do their chemo with a cold.  But that’s up to the medical professionals who are attending to you, so yes best to check in with them.

Big hugs and hoping it clears up soon.

Thanks ladies
I was allowed to have the chemo today as I had no fever and only light cold symptoms so round #2 done many more to go
Have a great day

Yay for you @IlonaC I also did round 2 Monday.
