Also on a different note, I tend to have this low-grade fever (nothing high about 99.5F or so)each night after I have returned home on 5/11 from the hospital. I sweat a little as a result of the temperature. Weird thing is this elevated temperature comes about either in the late evening or the night. Some say it is due to the surgery. Others say it may be the body's reaction to the cancer in me. My PCP says not to worry until it exceed 100.5F. [/quote]

I wanted to provide a quick update regarding this low-grade fever. Turns out that it was an infection in the tongue. This wasn't found by all the docs who inspected my tongue by asking me to stick it out and visually looking at it. It was accidentally found by an oral surgeon who was removing my wisdom teeth and accidentally hit the tongue near the sutured area, and noticed a little puss. She immediately put me on antibiotics, and three days later I am pleased to report that the low grade fever is gone.

Moral of the story is if the doc says to just stick the tongue out, ask him/her to feel it, apply light pressure near the sutures, etc.

Happy Memorial day to all!
