I think I am past the worst of my cold, I had a bit of fever on Friday and felt awful. Since my fever got up past the magic 38'C (sign of an infection) I called the agency and spoke with the nurse; I mentioned that I had a cold and a high fever as well as my GP sending me in for blood work on Thursday. She was able to see the results of the test and determined that I was strong enough to fight it off but if my temperature went any higher to call the on-call oncologist; it didn't so I didn't. I went back to bed and completed my 36+ hours of rest. I woke up on Saturday feeling better and today I am better than yesterday with only a few sniffles and a bit of coughing, no fever and no aches. I should be well enough to start cycle 5 on time this week as scheduled.
That's the update for now, I'll post again when something changes or after I visit the oncologist.
