Hello,
Due to chemotherapy, there will be physiological changes in the body and this is common. Some get a warm feeling some gets the cold feeling. Doing regular simple exercises maintains the thermostat of the body and improve the circulation as well. Most patients undergoing chemotherapy are adviced for physiotherapy rehabilitation so the overall status improves.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
