Hi @shmerdloff Absolutely, call your Oncologist office or go to the ER. It most likely isn’t the Neulasta causing the fever.
If you had your chemo a week ago, your blood numbers, especially the neutrophils, may be dropping, leaving you at risk for infection.

When I was undergoing chemo, whenever my temperature got to 100.4 I was instructed to call my oncologist ASAP or head to the ER for IV antibiotics. I was then admitted for a week for the IV antibiotics and monitoring. This is a standard protocol for anyone undergoing chemo.

So please call your doctor. There should be someone on call to give you guidance. Let me know what you find out, ok?

Good morning @shmerdloff. Just checking in to see how you are today. Did you get in contact with your oncologist about your fever?
