Mike started experiencing chills and then sweats on Wednesday night. Mike does run a lower temperature than most. When I took his temperature when he went to bed, it was 98.7 so that was up for him. He was also starting a cough and had a headache. The next morning he just sat on the side of the bed which is unusual for him. When I asked what was wrong, he stated he did not feel well. But, of course, he went into work. I informed his employer that he did not feel well so he could ask him how he felt. In Mike's usual fashion, he told his employer that he was feeling better. I tried to tell Mike to call his family doctor. This was how his pneumonia started prior to his very 1st chemo treatment.
As he headed into the weekend, his cough was becoming worse. It must have bothered him enough in that he called our family doctor on his cell phone to let him know what he was experiencing and that he was to start chemo on the 26th. A prescription for Biaxin was called in for Mike to start taking.
Mike is taking all of his supplements and was able to get time in infra red sauna which should help with the immune system. We have to get him pumped up before he would start any more chemo.
