Hi doctor, my mother is 61 years old and is a multiple myeloma patient she is on chemotherapy. Her 3rd chemotherapy cycle is completed. After 3rd chemo cycle she was having fever for more than 9 days then we did covid test based on advice of our onco-hematologist doctor, unfortunately her covid test came positive. We have postponed the next chemo cycle now. She is taking in medication like favipiravir, etc from a physician on her first day her c- reactive protien was 110, d dimer- 400. On second day crp- 79 and d dimer- 1012. Therefore based on physician advice we injected 2 enoxaparin sodium 60 mg injection in 12 hrs gap, after d dimer drop to 390. After that doctor prescribed 6 more injection. Does this treatment won't affect her cancer treatment? Is there anything to worry about? What are the possible suggestions?

Cancer treatment given now can be potentially lethal. Best to wait. Our aim should be to treat her.
