Suggest Treatment For Lymphoma
My mother has lymphoma. She had her 2nd chemo treatment a week ago last Tuesday (or two weeks ago this Tuesday). She saw her oncologist Wednesday. He said she should be feeling better in a couple of days. Her white blood cell count was 0.8 on Thursday. She isn't feeling better, and her temperature is up to 99.6.

hello dear. The response in a case of lymphoma may vary according to the type of lymphoma and type of drugs used. So she may show response in a few days more. However as her counts are low and she is feeling febrile, you should consult your doctor for antibiotic support and growth factor support if required. Thanks

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, with the history of malignancy and chemotherapy such symptom of not feeling good is very common and this may remained for some time but this nothing to worry because with the time this would come around, try to give her full moral support, hope this information helps, take care of her, have a nice day.
