Hospital stay
Hi, 9 days after first chemo I had a temperature of 38.3 so my hubby dragged me to hospital ED, I was neutropenic, my white blood cell count was down, they gave me antibiotics every 6 hours by canula...
Great advice Annemarie, these things can come on quite suddenly. I also spent 3 nights in hospital after my first chemo due to neutropenia, definitely not much fun. For the following 5 chemo cycles I was given Neulasta by injection the day after chemo and this helped keep my white blood cell count up.
Hope you are feeling much better now and that your remaining chemo sessions are much less eventful. Jane xx
