Is Low Body Temperature While Having Liver Cancer A Cause For Concern?
My husband is 68 years old and he has liver cancer. I have to watch his body temp , if it goes over 100.4 I have to get him to the hospital as they feel he may have an infection. He is on chemo and goes in every other week for treatment which can take up to 4 hours each time. Today his body temp has been steadily going down and I need to know how low I can allow it to go down before taking him into hospital.

HI
Well come to HCM
Actually without very low temperature of surrounding (atmosphere ) like very cold region body temperature may not come to very low and this in may not be possible it self, and your husband's case this is not possible, so need to worry about hypothermia, hope this information helps, take care.
