@auntieoakley Sorry to take so long to reply. I was not offered the ice gloves or anything. I finished round 3 on 5/21. The plan they came up with is to load me up with steroids the day before and after chemo bigger dose. Then I'm taking 2-3 mg a day. My hands are not hurting but are peeling . I guess the Taxotere burned my hands from the inside out. It's like a bad sunburn type of peel. I only have one round left . If I do not get anymore redness then I will finish the chemo. If the pain/redness comes back the doctor may reduce the strength of the last treatment.
After this I will be done except for scans every so often . It's been a long 5 months since diagnosis. I just will be glad to be done .
