I don't know - wouldn't think so but suggest that you give the Caredoc a ring or the VHI Nurse Line if you are a member of VHI to get some advice and peace of mind. Always better to be safe than sorry. Best of luck Dee.

God I gave up taking my temperature after I finished chemo. No I'd say you might just have a bit of a flu or something. I'd ring breast cancer nurse just to make sure. I'd say its nothing to do with rads though, just a coincidence. Must take mine when I get a hot flush see what it is lol
