Hi 2MC,
Firstly you are not asking to many questions, I believe you can never ask to many. I’m here for any questions so please ask away whenever.
You can even send me a private message anytime.
I had three visits to hospital during AC treatment.
First treatment was ok, didn’t know what to really expect, my temperature stayed stable, just had a few tweaks with my nausea medication.
It was the last 3 treatments.
Second treatment I felt unwell, was taking temperature as advised by oncologist team , it started to peak so went straight to emergency, my first visit my white blood cell count was non existent, I was in hospital for 6 days having intravenous antibiotics and I also had severe mouth ulcers, and also rhinovirus.( common cold)
They put of my dose for an extra week to let my body recover better.
Third treatment I was just taking my temperature on a regular basis, as they advise you to and went to hospital as it was raised, hospital stay was shorter. oncologist planned to drop my last dose by around 20 percent, can’t remember exactly.

Last treatment same as second , and the stay was shorter again. Was last dose.
I got through it and you will to, it’s just a bit of a rough ride, just run with the waves, you will have good and not so good days.

Taking your temperature is so so important, because when your white blood cells drop you can be really sick and you don’t know it, that’s why you need to present yourself to an emergency department straight away, use your card that was given to you to be seen straight away.
Take care, sending hugs xx
