Hello Ladies.... I am currently on Taxol just had the 9th treatment of 12 and I have a cold now. Is this pretty common? My white blood cells and neutrafills were pretty low, but we went ahead with chemo anyways... could have been the bug begining.

I was off work for about 6 months and went back last week. I think maybe the busy enviroment and probably nasty icky door handles that I use to open the doors may have gotten me where I am today, full of snot and not feeling well.

Is is a bad thing to have a cold while on chemo? Should I call the doctor? Will this affect chemo this week.
