My chemo was every three weeks and I had neulasta injection every time. I had 6 chemo treatments in all and five of these I developed a fever with low neutrophils and ended up in hospital for about 3/4 days each time. I was put in isolation. As soon as you get a fever of 38 or over you must go to A&E straight away. If you have an infection it can rapidly spread through the body as you have nothing to fight it with. I only had one chemo treatment delayed which was good. I was keen to get on with it. (Sounds weird I know but the sooner it was over the better I thought).
we all worry, just like you. Glad you could reach out on here. ??
Wishing you well with the rest of your treatment,
