Reduce Chemo Chills

Here's a tip, particularly if your experiencing cold problems due to folfox6 treatment. (Although nearly everyone I see getting treatment seems chilled). I mentioned it to my oncology nurse, and she said she wasn't aware of it. 1. Get a heated mattress pad. The King size even has separate controls (both with timers) so your spouse can be cooler (or maybe warmer if menopause is involved!) 2. Turn that sucker on. You can find them at J.C. Penney, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Linens & Things. - look for sales. Penney's was recently $149 and Bed Bath & Beyond was $139, so I bought it. The next week Linens & Things had a sale for $98. Since I've always had some problems with extremely cold feet at times, this is the best I've slept since the heated waterbed days of my youth.
