Fever delays next treatement of Dacogen
Just an update on my dad’s condition. He had his first treatment of Dacogen 4 weeks ago. Things went well for the most part, no nausea, just weakness. His sister was not a match but did find 4 possible matches on donor list. One week ago he started with sore throat and doctor put him in hospital for IV antibiotics. Two days later he started with fever, has had two blood transfusions and still has unexplained fever. Doctor wants him to do two additional rounds of Dacogen before transplant. Any words of wisdom or advice are appreciated.
