Hi Donna,

I hope you recieved the answer you were looking for.
It varies from one regime to another.
What chemo is he on?

Hi Don

I finished chemo nearly three months ago, I was always cold.  Lived in thermal wear. Now it's just my feet, constantly feel like blocks of ice to the touch but the rest of me is fine.

Hi Don I was told that this could be one of the side effects but I did not really suffer from it for more that a couple of days - mind you it kept the hot flushes away. 

The  occasions when I did feel cold  I had a blanket and one of those wheat things that you heat up in the microwave also try to have hot drinks I could not stand coffee or tea but tried Lady Grey Tea which has a orangy taste (without milk) and drank hot squash or just warm water.

Mention it to your Doctor and  nurses they may have solutions.

hello dave sorry in delay in asnwering hes on 3 diff types at the moment   sertuxin being 1 of them , were having a very rough day today  , severe headaches he has at the moment hasnt been able to have his chemo for 2 weeks now cos of bloods being off ,   no support at moment  tho his nurse at clatterbridge is brill   just feel alone at the moment 

hey jb  sorry for delay in replying as oyu will prob know things are pretty hectic  , hubby  hasnt been able to have his chemo for 2 weeks as his bloods are  off ,  hes started getting terrible headaches ect  just worried about how cold he does get  then the next minute hes quite hot .......... 

Hi Don,

I'm sure you're not alone, even if it feels that way at times. Bad news about the bloods, I hope you get that sorted soon. We could be under he same oncologist - I'm a Clatterbridge patient too. 

Two years after chemo, my feet still feel cold all the time - a price worth paying though :-)

All the best
Dave

Hi

dint apologise we have all been there, hectic for all involved.  What a shame about the bloods hope this is resolved soon and the treatment can get a move on.  It's a really tough regime to go through, I would just say keep notes of everything and relay it back to the nurse or oncologist. There are lots of things that can be done to help with side effects.  Not everything but at least try and make it more comfortable. I'm keeping you in my prayers for things to get better, don't give up 

best wishes
