Welcome, @jd1010. Your questions about the cold packs are good ones. I'm tagging @roywalton to make sure he sees your questions.

JD, the cooling mitts and socks are worn during chemotherapy infusion. You might find this article helpful:

Thank you for this and for following up.
He has completed 4 rounds of 5FU and honestly he is doing well. His main side effect is the cold sensitivity. He does wear gloves when he has to go into the refrigerator, but I try and take everything out for him beforehand. Hopefully as the weather gets warmer he will feel better. We go for treatment next week and will share this information with the Oncology team.
