had my 2nd round of chemo for breast cancer.
I am having trouble getting around. I walk slow and can't go far. I find if I over do it I feel sick, hot and shaky I can't find this in list of side effects also today I have woken up with sensitive patches on my body could this be nerve damage
Hi Sharron121 and a second welcome to the online community
I had chemotherapy for breast cancer and was given a phone number so that I could ring the chemotherapy hotline 24 hours a day. As you say you feel sick, hot and shaky with sensitive patches on your body, could I urge you to call that number now so that they can assess you.

Agree sounds like rigors. Please check your temperature and ring your red card team
Hello Sharon
I would agree with the other 2 ladies and recommend you call your team.
I had similar during one of my chemo cycles and called my cancer helpline. I was sent straight to hospital on Sepsis alert. I was told any slight infection could become serious very quickly. I was at the hospital 30 minutes later on IV antibiotics. Please get yourself checked out
