Fever day before weekly taxol

Septmom

I am supposed to get taxol #6 tomorrow. Had bloodwork done and my counts are good. The nurse thought I was warm when she drew my blood and took my temperature. It was 99.6 she told me to keep an eye on my temperature. This morning I took my temp and it is 101. Does this mean I won't be getting taxol tomorrow? I am so upset. I already missed one taxol due to getting shingles. Does anyone get chemo while having fever? I do plan on taking my steroids meds as I am supposed to on the day before taxol. Will the steroids help with the fever?

Call your DR!  I was initially told to call any time I hit 101f.  I never had elevated temp. problems while on weekly Taxol - keeping my temp up was a problem - 96 +/- was standard for me but was down to 94 at times.

Kicks,

My fever went away. I did call my doctor. By the time he calked me back it had started going down. I was able to get my 6th taxol today. So relieved. My temperature today before taxol was given was 98.0. Dr said what they are really concerned about are sighs of infection like bad cold, cough, sore throat, etc.
