Hi all. I am really worried about my husband’s health and wonder if any of you have suffered the same symptoms after chemo is finished. he finished chemo at the beginning of December then developed a bad cough and wheeze 2 weeks later, he then had 4 courses of antibiotics and a course of steroids and although his cough is a lot better but his wheeze is not. His GP has requested a CT scan, this will be on 17th February, but now I’m really concerned as he seems to be so cold, he’s shivering all the time. his temperature is around 34-35 so ok, he’s so tired and weak.
I have read that you can still suffer side effects months after chemo ends but these are new symptoms.
kind regards
Hi uncle I am just coming to 12 months after chemo and RT and am still very often cold my hands and feet are always cold. I wear socks in bed and gloves in this winter weather
as for chest problems has he been offered nebuliser as this eases wheezing
Hope things get better and he gets all the support he needs
Best wishes
Tony
