@alohman08 I had neuropathy issues before chemotherapy. It's caused by inflammation in my case. I didn't do ice. I didn't have additional issues. My doctor didn't believe it would matter much if I did. The best course of action my case is diet. If the diet isn't addressed the inflammation will continue. Permanent neuropathy doesn't have to happen. You used ice. I used food. To me. The diet is has the bigger impact on the total health of the person. I would recommend anybody who's fearful of it do both. But if they don't want to do the ice, definitely do the diet.

@denisestlouie @alohman08 I view changes in one's diet that are nutritious and anti-imflammatory as a win-win. You know how we often weight the risk/benefits of medications and treatments? From my point of view I can think of no risks with changing one's diet for the better during treatments for cancer. I do think, however, that it's best to work with a nutrtionist on this. I worked with a nutritionist who specialized in cancer and an integrative medicine physician. Both specialists were (and still are) enormously helpful in figuring out how best to support my wellness and health. I've adopted many of their recommendations that I still do after my recurrence (2021).
