What Are The Side Effects Of Chemotherapy?

Dear Doctor Anil Thakwani, I have had colon cancer back in 2004. I was operated on four times. I have also had chemotherapy and radiation. That was quite a while ago. Lately I experience terrible chills threw by whole body. My house is nice and warm. The other day I had two sweaters on and a winter jacket. I was still freezing. I threw a blanket on me and finally fell asleep. When I woke up I felt better. Then I was starting to get warm. I removed the jacket and a sweater and was comfortable. When I get these chills I always check my temperature. I never have a temperature. It is below normal. Then after the chills disappear my body temperature becomes normal. Do you know why this happening. Its very annoying. I would like to know why this happens quite often now.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Chill are common after chemotherapy. I have seen in many patients on chemotherapy.
Other side effects are weaknesses, immunosuppression, hair loss, frequent infection etc. Don't worry about that. If you have fever along with chills then it should be investigated.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
