Hi aysedeniz,

No, all cancer patients don’t have high temperature. You should get to the doctor immediately and figure this out. That is very high. You may be experiencing pneumonia or something else. Please get this sorted out with your GP.👍❤️

The problem starts here. No pneumonia that’s for sure. They can’t find anything else. I asked for blood analysis. My hb are very low. 6.6. They say I need blood. I asked if my body show a reaction. They say no. It will not. But I red that yes allergic reactions may develop. Espacially I have a fever with unknown origin. I want to wait for a value likr 5. Do you know anything about blood reactions??

No, but I see where allergic reactions are possible from transfusions. They are even treatable with antihistamines? Not sure if the allergic reactions are in the form of a fever? Did you have a transfusion and then got the high fever reaction?

What symptoms did you have or what led up to the need for a transfusion?

I do hope someone on this site will chime in with some information on this topic.
