Radiation day 1 chills and fever ... normal?

To have such low temps is what is giving you the chills. The question is why. So definitely get checked out. A very slow pulse rate might be the reason. Important to know the cause. Let them know asap. If unwell over weekend. Please go to an emergency department. It could still be chemo related. Better to feel silly saying all okay than regretting not seeking assistance that is really needed.
