chemo and yeast infection

econmom

I believe I have a vaginal yeast infection and am due for chemo on Thursday.  I am wondering if they will postpone chemo due to this?  Anyone have this experience?

Thanks

I had an intestinal bug just before my second treatment and it went ahead as scheduled; I have also had an oral yeast infection throughout chemo and chemo has gone on as scheduled every time.  I was told the only reason chemo is ever postponed is low white counts or fever of 100F or more. 

 If you do have a yeast infection it might get worse with chemo, so you should see your family doctor about medication (flocozanole?) asap.  For me the oral thrush flares up with each treatment, but usually diminishes with the medication.  I just had my last treatment so hopefully it will completely resolve once my system "normalizes."
