Briefly commenting as spouse supporting double chemo (Docetaxel + Carboplatin) and double hormone (Firmagon + Nubeqa). Round 5/6 of chemo tomorrow. As for the neuropathy, we do the icing of hands and feet, and he also sucks on ice, cold drinks starting 15 min before and throughout the infusion and so far have prevented neuropathy in hands and feet. We learned this from others who also had success. I would recommend to get the booties and gloves (Amazon) as the first time we used ice in bags and it was a mess. We bring the frozen items packed in ice bags in a small cooler to infusion days. Hope that helps!

Good luck with the last round of treatment.

I’m going to get the ice mittens and socks too. How many did you use on treatment day and how long would you keep them on before switching to a new frozen pair?
