I felt awful with the TCH. My oncologist changed my meds after the first round and it helped. If you are running a fever you need to get your white count checked to make sure you aren't neutropenic. If you haven't called him, call him and I'm sure he'll want you to come in so they can check it. Otherwise go to the er. I started a fever on day 8 and was admitted to the hospital for a week. Good luck - you need to get that checked out right away.
