feeling cold constantly

is it normal for a cancer patient  going through chemo to feel constantly cold ?

  • 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.

  • 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

    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
