No I've not had any infections so far. Being treated with tarceva and have side effects from that.
Hi dewberry,
Are you receiving treatment for cancer at the moment? Some types of treatment such as chemotherapy can weaken your immune system, so you would be more susceptible to infections. Some anti cancer treatments may stop your bone marrow from producing the blood cells that help to fight infection.
I hope this helps a little, but if you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to call our free helpline on 0333 3237200 option 2.
Best wishes,
Beth, on behalf of information and support.
