The freezing can be due to your blood levels not being where they should be. I can never keep it straight if its the white or red ones that cause anemia. That can be a result from the chemo. When your immune system gets compromised its not unusual to feel the cold much more intensely.
I keep telling myself, only a few months til spring. Sure cant wait to be driving on paved roads instead of ice covered ones. Sat. morning was -10 and that was before the wind chill, it was so cold that on Sun when it was 18 it felt warm outside. I completely understand your freezing. Im always cold too, did you lose alot of weight? That can be another thing contributing to your coldness.
