  • Hello ,

    A few things to consider....

    How is the operation site looking?
    Do you have any red or hot areas? This could be a sign of infection, and, I can't help but wonder if you shivers come with infections.

    Personally, you should give your BCN a call and let her know and see what she says.  I think in the 'normal' healing processes before any other treatments, I shouldn't think you would have shivers, unless you have started taking letrozole or tamoxifen - then maybe this could be a side effect from this. 

    Personally, please give you BCN a phone call. 

    I'm hoping this makes sense - only my mind says one thing and my fingers type whatever they like x
