hello, I was wondering which group it would be most appropriate to pose this question to:
my dad is getting symptoms of shivering, he does not have a temperature and is not in a cold environment.
he has bowel cancer that has spread. No longer receiving any treatment.
Thanks
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am so sorry to see the circumstance that brought you here and so sorry to hear that your had has been diagnosed with Bowel Cancer.
From my point of view if I am shivering it has always been a sure sign of an infection so keep monitoring him and if you are concerned call his team or 111
