How did you overcome these side effects chemo hit me hard the second time and i couldnt do my chemo because of that. I be going through the cold chills dont want to do anything cant get warm. I start two chemos back to back on Fridays. Can somebody please talk to me and help me out.

felisa, if you have chills and can't get warm, you may have a fever. My doctor told me to call right away if I get a fever of more than a degree or two during chemotherapy treatment. Please take your temperature and make sure it's normal! If not, call your doctor, the after-hours number, or even the ER and find out what to do. Fever could be a sign of infection and you might need antibiotics or other treatment.

felisa, I don't totally understand your post, but severe cold chills don't sound like a normal reaction to chemo -- at least not long term.  I agree with curveball that you may need medical attention, and I would suggest that whether or not you have a fever, you at least call you onc's answering service (since it's a holiday weekend) and report your symptoms.  Many of us have flu-like aches for a couple of days two or three days after our infusions.  But what you're describing sounds more like a fever or a shock reaction or something possibly concerning going on, so I really think you need to report it to your onc.  (((Hugs))) and hope you feel beter soon...   Deanna
