Long-term question - does anyone else feel extremely cold in winter?

Hi, all. Over four years since chemo for advanced stage IV colon cancer, still here - and having follow-up. I have noticed that I always seem to feel the cold more than others in my family - to an extreme extent. Even with heating on, and layers of clothing, I seem to be almost permanently freezing. Does anyone else suffer from this long-term problem? Not talking about the immediate "freezer burn" problems of Oxyplatin which I also suffered. Thanks for any advice, and everyone should have a complete recovery, G-d willing.

Not me. Since I had full hysterectomy. So I feel hot. 3 years NED stage 4.

My husband does. He usually tolerates the cold quite well but since his diagnosis, he really suffers from the cold.

My DH has put the heater up to 74 this week. That's too hot. I used to be the cold one.

Absolutely! Before chemo, I loved the cold of winter and struggled in the hot weather. Since chemo, I am the exact opposite. I thought I was the only one!

My hands are terribly cold, I even had to buy a heated mouse to work. Not sure if this is related to treatment or just generally aging though.
