Hello Alan,
Do you know if her white blood cell count is affected by the MDS also? Sometimes you can have chills from an infection even though you may not have a fever. Her local Hematologist should be consulted. I assume your sister takes her temperature also to make sure its not dropping too low either.
Lastly....look up the side effects of Arenesp to see if chills are one of the adverse side effects. A good site is www.rxlist.com
