Quick question re chemo

[dandelup]

Does anyone know if you still have chemo if you have a stinking cold?

Hi Dandelup, went ahead with my treatment with a stinking cold but they did insist I wear a face mask while on the ward which made sense.

Thank you for the info

I had a cold when I was due to start FCR. The consultant decided to delay for a week, then the following week I saw another doctor who decided I was well enough for the chemotherapy to proceed. I still felt quite unwell. So I guess the answer is 'it depends how bad the cold is and what your consultant thinks is right'.
