As per Tonya's advice just keep an eye on yourself. You become "high maintenance" whilst on chemo and need to monitor yourself constantly. I used to take my temp on rising, mid morning, lunchtime, mid arvo and evening just to keep a "handle on things" It is very important if your temp gets to 38 degrees that you contact the hospital and they usually ask you to come in as this indicates some form of infection. On my 7th day after my first chemo I had a 38 degree temp and ended up in isolation for 6 nights. Be kind to yourself and just go with it but be very alert to everything. XLeonie
