What happens when you have a cold before surgery?

Just my luck that I have come down with a very sore throat and can't swallow.  Not sure if will morph into a full blown cold or is an infection.  I just want to have a cold and get over it.  If I have an infection I fear that I may have to tak antibiotics and then have my surgery cancelled or something.  I am praying for a cold.  Only other thing is that I have to go to Bathurst on Tuesday for more blood tests - they are testing my CBC counts and stuff so if I am sick that will screw it all up.  What luck do I have? 

I started my liver fast diet and have been excellent following it.  Only thing ismy throat and head is so achy that I had to pop Advil.  Hope that does not screw anything up.

Has anyone experienced this before surgery?

They postpone surgery!  My advice is to get some zinc right away.

Would it be too late to take ColdFx?

 ColdFX is probably not going to help you much at this point . Get plenty of rest and fluids and keep your fingers crossed. And 0 if surgery is cancelled because you are ill - it's for good reason. As heartbreaking as it will be - trust me - doing a general anaesthetic and major surgery on an already ill patient - NOT GOOD. You want to be in the best possible shape pre-op to get the best possible, trouble free recovery! Good luck!
