Fever with VISION Study

[Stegosaurus37]

Had my third VISION study infusion on Aug, 7. Normal recovery, nothing unusual. This Monday, Aug. 26, I felt wiped out and went to bed at 3:30 pm. By 5:30 pm I had gone from normal temperature to 104 F (40 C). Immediately to Urgent Care, who suspected neutropenic fever, which, apparently is a less-common side effect of some kinds of cancer treatments, but is very serious and can be deadly. By 1 am, after being seen by half to medical profession and having enough blood drawn to satisfy a vampires' banquet, I was checked in at the hospital. My wife having wisely gone home two hours earlier.

After hydration and bed rest, by yesterday afternoon, everything tickety-boo and I was released. Did not have neutropenic fever, VISION study people said high fever was not a normal side effect and fever "idiopathic" (no idea why it occurred).

Any brother have any similar experiences or is this just another reason my sister-in-law thinks I'm weird?

So all your white blood cells were normal or high? Maybe an infection from the infusion?

[Stegosaurus37 in reply to Tall_Allen]

White blood cell count normal Did have dark urine, which is symptomatic of dehydration - even though I'd been drinking plenty of water. Urine is clear now.

speaking of hydration, I don't drink much water but I do coffee, does that count?
