Any suggestions? Not sure if something different is required.

    HVV - sorry no one replied since I'd love some ideas. I get so cold that my teeth chatter. That's with a flannel shirt, a sweat shirt, a neck scarf, a stocking cap, gloves, long ski socks, heavy pants and two blankets - and drinking hot coffee. I'm scheduled for another round of different chemo drugs and thinking about taking a heated throw - but probably not allowed.

    Yes I was cold during chemo too! My cancer center kept heated blankets on hand for this very reason and they were wonderful! I would also recommend dressing in comfy warm layers and perhaps drinking a hot beverage during treatment. If it's really bad a warm hat/gloves/scarf would help too.
