Hubby went through round 1 and it was a little rough, though maybe not as bad as for some people. He’s having issues with the j-tube leaking and now his skin around the disc is raw; the doc gave him an antibiotic to prevent infection or resolve it (surgeon says it’s not infected). His white blood cell count has gone from being high to being almost nothing and he’s doing three shots to help boost them. Is it normal to feel this weak after the first cycle? I’m very afraid of what the next will do to him. This is for sure not for the weak of heart. Last night he spiked a fever of 101.4 and I was out looking for a new thermometer at 10pm because he didn’t feel that hot to the touch. Got home with the new one, still 101.4 . Called the on call doc, after a glass of water and a cool compress took his temp again:98 degrees. I hope my new job can understand that my life is not going to be stable for a while. We vastly under estimated all the things that can go wrong just during treatment alone.
