Q: What should you do if you have fever after cancer treatment and chemotherapy?
A: It's not too be taken lightly as it can be associated with low blood counts, especially low total leukocyte count, neutrophil count, and sometimes low platelet count, which can result in fatal complications like sepsis, septic shock, and febrile neutropenia. Doing a CBC and contacting your oncologist immediately is very important to rule out febrile neutropenia.
Q: Is it normal to have fever after chemotherapy?
A: No, fever that happens after chemotherapy is not normal and should be taken seriously. It can be a sign of an underlying infection or other complications.
