Rose,

I have a small electric blanket that my wife got me. It is not the full sized one you get for a bed but is perfect for covering my legs and chest while I sit in my chair in the living room.

I am about 4 months out of treatment and don't use it much any more but it was a constant companion when I was being treated.

My son also liked getting me hot water bottles. Those help too. Anything to take the edge off the chill is nice.

Good luck on the rest of treatment.
