Pneumonia during chemo

Hi Lemonadehk, I developed pneumonia while on AC. I didn't have a cold. Just started a having a temp one day with a heavy feeling in my chest and a mild cough. I thought it was just another symptom of the AC (there are so many!). Actually went in for my chemo that day and the nurse said I felt warm and took my temp. It turned out to be 103. My doctor put me on a drip to hydrate me, checked my blood counts and sent me down for a chest x-ray. The x-ray showed pneumonia and the blood counts were so low that I needed a transfusion. After the transfusion I was sent home with an oral antibiotic. I don't recall the name of it but I took one pill a day for seven days. Did the job. I only ended up missing one chemo treatment and was back on schedule the next week. Good luck to you!
