Hi there i just saw your post and would like to share my weird things happening to me post chemo. Every few weeks i get severe shivers, feeling extremely cold and shaking uncontrollably. Temp rockets to 103. I go to bed and pile on the duvets and sleep. Next day i feel washed out but temp decreased and no shivers. The cancer specialist said i should get to hospital next time it happens, but i feel too ill to even pick up the phone. The last one wasn't as bad so i went to hospital but blood cultures ecg chest xray all normal. Gp did full blood count. Normal. You mention nutrofils... i looked online and i wonder if it's something to do with that. The a and e consultant when i went to hospital said it might be bacteria getting into the blood through thinned digestve wall tracts. ( I had a whipple op for pancreatic cancer and chemo). I am not imagining it! A mystery. Had 5 episodes in august but not as bad as when it started 2 years ago, after i'd finished chemo. I was told it was ok to have covid jab whilst having chemo, but wonder if it was triggered by that. A mystery!
