It’s really so hard to predict how long to take the Claritin. I had that happen too, when I felt 7 days was enough and then booom! Nope!! Too soon…back on Claritin a few more days.
Anytime we’re on chemo and get a low grade temp it’s really important to check in with the oncologist. The timing on the low grade fever after the Neulasta injection could be a small reaction to that shot, or, because we’re also at the lowest point of immunity, it can also be the sign of infection. So I’m glad his doctors checked to make sure that wasn’t the case.
How’s your husband doing with his chemo? I know he was reticent to try again. Appears he’s tolerating it better? Is he still on for the transplant the end of February???

Lori, wanted to update you on my husband. He got his transplant Feb 15 followed by tough chemo this last weekend then yesterday anti rejection med, antifungal and blood. But the amazing thing is he is still an outpatient and doing well I think. Of course, the chemo this weekend took him for some good nausea but no vomiting or diarrhea. So as long as he stays fever free he gets to day home in his own bed, be active and we go back everyday for lab levels and injections for white count. I almost need to get him up a half hour early though just to take the tons of pills. Oh I failed to ever mention he has Parkinson’s as well and bladder issues so that adds at least 6-7 more pills. Crazy but so far prayers are being answered. Drs impressed since almost two weeks since his third pre transplant round of chemo. 👏🏻🙏❤️
