Oh & I developed a huge mouth sore on Day 5 despite gargling & ringing 4 x per day with oncology mouthwash.

I all also have ongoing chills. No fever, just chills.

I feel you! My son gave me a weighted blanket and a sweet friend gave me warm colorful socks. Both very appreciated! You may also want to keep gloves near the refrigerator..

I forgot to mention this in my previous post. I hope you're wrapping up warm to help ward off chills. I've had chills as well. Our daytime temps are 80 to low 80s, and we're running the air conditioner indoors. Meanwhile, I'm wearing a long-sleeved flannel shirt, T-shirt underneath and long pants. I look weird outside in the warmth, but it feels good. I also keep plenty of blankets around, including a large Polartec one.

I had something else I was going to mention, but...I forgot. Chemo brain! 🙂
