Infections

Hi Ladies

i am on Palbocyclib and Letrozole- but I seem to have one infection after another.

At the end of last months palbo- I had chest infection and UTI for which I was given antibiotics.

Since then I have had constant chesty cough- and now I have a strep throat and high temperature. I guess this means more antibiotics.

How do other ladies cope with the infections?

Hi Mamlan

I hate seeing an overlooked post so… I’m not on the same treatment plan and - touch wood - I haven’t experienced many infections. It strikes me though that we attribute everything to our condition when, when you think of it, the time of year was a time for chest infections AND I assume that, like many of us, you were CEV and shielding. Our immunity to common infections must be rock bottom. Strep throat brings back sharp memories of childhood in South London when I had them constantly. You have my sympathies. I hope you contacted the hospital about the temperature and it’s all sorted now.

Here’s to better immunity! Xx
