Feeling cold

I finished chemo four weeks ago, I have started to feel cold  and tired mainly late afternoon, did anyone else have this after their chemo ?

  • Hello Pat,

                    yes its one of the recognised side effects.Heatwaves saw me wearing thermal gloves and socks,five layers of clothes,plus hat.l still feel the cold 6 years on,and l used to wear tee shirts outside in the winter.Invest in thermal wear now would be a good idea.

                                                                                                    You have done well to only feel tired after the treatment finished,most feel it during.Remember chemo kills everything,the good,the bad,and the hangers on,and your body has to rebuild itself,which is not going to happen in a few months.l did not walk for over two years after my treatment,just trudged

                                                                                                                     l hope your treatment has had the desired effect,and that its uphill all the way now,albeit a little slower than you would like,

                                                        Take care,
