Hi there, and thanks for the post
I am sorry to hear about your situation. Many people who have had chemotherapy can feel cold from time to time and this is common. However it is important to check your temperature to make sure you haven't an infection. As you will know chemo can affect your immune system and it isn't unusual for patients to be more prone to picking up infections.
However, if the cold you are feeling only lasts a few minutes and you are otherwise well, this is probably nothing to worry about.
If you remain concerned about this or you notice anything else out of the ordinary, do let your doctor know.
Best wishes
Naomi
