evening fevers

Hi, I've just come back from my GP. I asked him why I would be getting fevers in the evening when I don't have any obvious signs of infection. He said it's an indicator for leukaemia. My blood tests this time were really good and certainly don't show any reason to suspect leukaemia. Hb 86, haematocrit 2.9, RCC 3.4, WCC 2.9, neuts 1.6 (great!!), lymphocytes .5 everything else in normal range. My question is does anyone else get these evening temperature rises ? I think I'm just after some reassurance that it isn't pointing to an escalation of my disease. Also the GP said that they want to keep my Hb above 80 because chronic low Hb can cause heart failure very quickly. Has anyone else developed heart failure from anaemia ? I know I got heart failure when I had pnuemonia but it recovered completely when my pnuemonia was treated. Also have been getting mouth ulcers, anyone got any quick fixes for them ? Thanks Chirley
