Antibiotics and cyclophosphomide ?

Hi, I think it is essential that you talk to your consultant or specialist nurse as soon as possible. When I was having cyclophosphamide they would never give it to me if there was any chance that I had an infection, as the immune system is lowered which could allow the infection to spread. I am surprised that your GP did not pick up on this. The antibiotics are used to fight the infection, it might be that you need stronger ones over a couple of weeks before they continue with the cyclo. Hope you get sorted before your next infusion, but speak to someone soon. Hope this helps.

Hi lisa,

thanks for your reply. Ive been up most of the night with it. My chest now hurts from armpit to armpit. I'm gonna ring up hospital now.

I'll let you know.. . . .

Hi again

been to A&E this afternoon. Eventually (quite quickly aswel) got sent to breast clinic. Ive got an abcess over a cyst that has to be operated on tomorrow morning. Ive still got to take the antibiotics and she is gonna write to my neurologist about the chemo. He will decide whether i can continue with the cyclo or not for now. She doesnt recomend it as it lowers the immune system ( we know that bit) and will stop the healing process of the abcess.
