| When Do I Call My Doctor? |
|
|
At this time, you are probably more in tune with your body than you
ever have been in your life. You notice every physical change and
imbalance. Do not make light of your physical symptoms.
Although some side effects are fleeting and minor, others
signal potentially serious problems. You should not be the judge. Alert
your doctor right away if you suffer from any of the following symptoms
during your chemotherapy treatment:
- a fever of 100.5°F or greater
- bleeding or unexplained bruising
- a rash or allergic reaction, such as swelling or severe
itching or wheezing
- intense chills
- pain or soreness at the chemotherapy injection site or
catheter site
- unusual pain, including intense headaches
- shortness of breath
- prolonged diarrhea or vomiting
- bloody stool or blood in your urine
