Look into compression therapy for Neuropathy prevention. Here is an article on using compression therapy during treatment for breast cancer:

I wore support hose knee socks (30-40mmhg) during my infusions along with the cold socks. My feet still got neuropathy but think it was probably not as bad as it would have been if I did nothing and it never got bad enough to cause my Oncologist to reduce my Taxol dose.
For compression therapy on the hands I have read you can use disposable gloves in one size too small to help the hands. My hands actually faired pretty well with just the cold gloves (had two sets kept in ice chest with high quality freezer packs) and only got tingly on a few finger tips which resolved within 6 months.
Great you are helping your friend, the whole diagnosis and process can feel overwhelming.
