Suggest Medication For Coldness While On Halaven Medication

My wife is in her 9th year of chemo for metastic breast cancer. She is 70. She just started her 2nd round of Halaven. The problem is she is always cold, freezing in her words, it can be 74 in the house and she needs 2 or more blankets and still complains about being cold. Is there something she could take that would make her fell warmer? Niacin?

Feeling cold is not related to Eribulin (halaven). First fever needs to be ruled out. If she has fever, immediate medical attention is mandatory as fever with fall in blood counts needs immediate antibiotics. If there is no fever, her nutrition needs to be improved.
