I am just beginning chemotherapy Carboplatin and Paclitaxel weekly for 3 months. I’m using multiple sets of ice mittens/socks from Amazon and a Cold Cap ( available at my local facility) to help with Neuropathy and hair loss. I start ice 20 minutes before chemo, during and for 90 minutes after. Then I am walking 3 miles a day. (so far)) Fingers crossed that this helps. I will keep everyone posted. 🙏🏻🤞I do take my extremities out for a few minutes when they get too cold.

Chrisbomstad,
How are you doing with your chemotherapy? Are the cold mittens and socks keeping neuropathy at bay? Did the cold cap help with hair loss?
Hope all is going well, look forward to hearing from you:)
