My Mom is 5 months out from her last imrt and chemo tx. She went back to work in early January and has been spiking occassional fevers ever since. She gets these fevers about 1x a week and aside from the fever symptoms (chills, fatique, and achey) she has no other symptoms. Just wondering if any one else has had fevers like this post tx. She will be getting her first PET Scan on friday since the treatment ended. She is still not fully recovered and still dependent on the peg.
Thanks for any input

Is she still on any medications such as pain meds?

has she had her thyroid function checked?

I went through a period of fevers like you describe. Low grade usually no higher than 100, but just enough to make you feel bad. I took tylenol, and was told not to worry, be happy.

she is on no meds except for one for saliva production. She has not had a thyroid function since the cancer ordeal. Her fevers usually go up to 103 but do come down with Motrin. They have only lasted for the rest of the day. The next day she seems to be fine.
Thanks

Anything that jumps to 103 is not to be messed with. I would get on the phone and pass all this by the doctors. The spiking and then the reduction repeating seems very unusual. But 103 is a dangerous number. Make the call, get the answers.
