Fever

Hi Julianna!
As you know all infections can decrease counts. Because we want as high counts as possible we should try to avoid infections or receive treatment as soon as possible. (I am sorry if I sound like an old teacher.)

It is important for you to be as well as possible when you get your SCT so you have to take care of yourself.

Since I woke up in the middle of the night with neutropenic fever 2007 and was shivering so much that I hardly could pack a few things and call a taxi to go to the hospital I control my temp every evening. If it is 38.5 C or more I go to the hospital for treatment.

Hope you soon will recover from the pneumonia!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
