I have been having headaches for the past 3 days... I cancelled my granix shot appointment bc I have been bed ridden . I think my temperature has been fluctuating bc I get extremely cold then hot .. right now I am sweating as if it were 100 out. My thermometer should be here this evening

Hi I’m sorry to hear u’re not feeling well. I too suffer from headaches because of the treatment I’m getting from my infusions. What do you think is causing them. Check ur blood pressure cause that can cause the headaches. I hope that u feel better. Mary❤️

These symptoms during cancer treatment can be concerning and often indicate the body's response to treatment or potential complications like infection. Getting a thermometer to monitor temperature is a smart step, and it's important to contact the medical team right away about these symptoms, especially the fever and chills, as they may need immediate attention regardless of scheduled appointments. The healthcare team can provide proper guidance on whether treatment adjustments or urgent care might be needed.
