Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Fatigue And Fever While Recovering From Bladder Cancer?
My husband is recovering from bladder cancer. He had neoadjuvant chemo followed by radical cystectomy/prostatectory and lymphnode dissection. Since then there has been no evidence of disease and he s feeling great except today he s tired and has a slight fever (100.4). What could this indicate?
There can be various reasons for the fatigue and fever from treatment of bladder cancer such as
- lowered level of immunity
- tumor lysis syndrome in which the release of toxins of the tumor damages the body systems
- associated viral or bacterial infections
- low hemoglobin, protein levels and other immunoglobulins from compromised hematology and lymph system
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
