Wendy,

I will say from experience that you do need to make sure he is not running a fever. You probably have guidelines from your MO/chemo facility about what constitutes a fever that is concerning. I wouldn't think that it is too much of a worry this early in the game but do be aware that Steve is susceptible to illness the more chemo he has.

I say all this because Bill started being very sleepy about 5 weeks into treatment and could not stay awake. When I finally checked his temp, he was over 101 and had to be hospitalized for an unknown infection and neutropenia (low blood count.)

This is just for your information because even as a very involved caregiver, this one slipped up on me.
