Symptom journal

A daily snapshot you can bring to clinic. This is a notebook, not a triage nurse. Red-flag cards quote public NCI and ACS pages.

Not medical advice

CareCompass is an educational tool. It does not diagnose conditions, recommend treatments, or predict outcomes. Always talk with your oncology care team about your own records and symptoms. If you think you need urgent care, contact your care team or emergency services.

Fever during cancer treatment

Public pages from the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society describe fever during cancer treatment as a reason to contact the care team right away, because it can be a sign of infection. NCI lists a fever of 100.5 °F (38 °C) or higher among signs of infection. ACS notes that 100.4 °F (38 °C) is often used and says to ask your own team what they consider a fever. Do not start a fever-reducing medicine to 'wait and see' unless your team has already told you to. If you cannot reach the clinic, use the after-hours number or emergency care and say that you are in cancer treatment.

Other signs of infection

NCI and ACS list more than fever: chills, new cough or sore throat, shortness of breath, diarrhea, pain or burning with urination, and redness or swelling, including around a catheter or port. ACS also lists new or worse confusion, dizziness, and chest pain as reasons to get help. Call the care team using the thresholds they gave you.

Trouble breathing or chest pain

ACS lists trouble breathing, even at rest, and chest pain among reasons to call the cancer care team or get medical help. These symptoms can have many causes. CareCompass cannot tell you which one you have. Use your clinic's urgent instructions or emergency care.

Unusual bleeding or bruising

Cancer treatment can affect platelets, which help blood clot. ACS groups bruising and bleeding with low blood counts and tells people to follow their team's rules for when to call. New uncontrolled bleeding, coughing or vomiting blood, or black stools are treated as urgent in public patient pages. Report what you see rather than waiting for this app to interpret it.

Symptoms you cannot keep up with at home

NCI's side-effect pages cover nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pain, and mouth sores, and they repeatedly tell patients to ask the care team which symptoms should trigger a same-day call. If you cannot keep down fluids, have uncontrolled pain, or feel suddenly much worse, contact the clinic or urgent care. This journal is a record, not a triage tool.
