<human>: My cousin has non hogdkins lymphoma stage 4 and is being treated very agressively with Chemotherapy . His chemo is administered very agressively for 3 days. Then he goes home for 7 days. Then back. He just finished his second round. Now he has to go back to the hospital for an infection the doctors thing is C disc. Is this related to the cancer or something non cancer related?
<bot>: Hi, from your query it is not clear what infection it is. Anyway cancer treatment by aggressive chemotherapy very often leads to development of febrile neutropenia which is a condition characterized by decreased count of neutrophil causing life-threatening infection. You should order for complete blood count, LFT, blood culture, urine RE/ME. Another close diagnosis may be hepatitis C, which can be associated with lymphoma. Consult your doctor.
