what is considered a temperature for someone receiving chemotherapy?
My mom is receiving chemotherapy and I know there is certain temperature that is considered a fever which could indicate infection - but I can't find the paper that has the temp. I'm afraid she may be sick and don't know whether to contact the doctor. I appreciate any help you can give me!
It is usually anything above 100.5 for cancer patients.
As soon as your temperature hits that, then you have to go to the ER (call the hospital first to let them know you are coming).
But if you fear your mom has an infection, bring her to the hospital right away. Better safe than sorry.
