Chemo Infusion reaction day of chemo: Does it affect future infusions?

@sharonemma, it's not uncommon for reactions to happen duing chemo infusion treatment. The most common adverse effects during treatment include fever, chills, rash, and nausea especially during the first infusion. Infusion reactions typically occur within 30 to 120 minutes. Usually you will be monitored closely by the chemotherapy nurses. Treatment might be stopped until the issue resolves and/or additional medications given to manage the side effect.
Did you get the fever while you were having the infusion or some time afterwards? Did you report the fever?

I too, had a reaction at the very beginning of my second chemo infusion. My blood pressure went through the roof, got very hot, and couldn’t speak, although I’m not sure why I couldn’t speak. They gave me meds to combat the reaction and a few minutes later, continued with the infusion. I did not have issues with subsequent infusions as I was given extra meds prior to starting the treatment.
