Hi! I just had my 10th of 12 Taxol. I am using ice slippers and gloves. The gloves, I can only tolerate for about 10 min, but the slippers I keep on the whole infusion. I did have to adjust a bit as I was getting frostbite the first time. The way I’ve found it tolerable is to wear 2 pairs of slipper socks with the ice slippers over that. 2 pairs of thin mittens with the ice mittens. These are what I got:

I also started getting a massage the day before chemo and he concentrates on my hands and feet. I’m tingly the day of chemo, but then it goes away and I don’t have anything lasting. Good luck!!

Thank you! I just ordered from Amazon. I hope they help, along with the glutamine. I got a whole instruction sheet about glutamine, but the gloves/slippers were just an aside by the NP. Glad I asked about them here!
