And that could be the key. I've read other posts here where they used some kind of mitts and socks with cold packs to prevent a lot of the drugs from circulating to the fingers and toes. This appeared to have mitigated or prevented the neuropathy there.

I used cold pack mitts and socks with 100% of my taxol treatments and still ended up afterwards with the worst chemotherapy-induced neuropathy any of my doctors had ever seen. All I can say is the cold therapy definitely didn't work for me.

Just to clarify: I use the infared now to hopefully encourage nerve healing. Used cold packs during the actual drug infusions.
