Thanks for the feedback @fiona007. I tried the icing route but my oncology treatment team almost had a collective fit, and I couldn't insist. I'm on oxaliplatin, definitely platinum based chemo. My doctor reduced the dosage in cycle 3 when it became clear that the side effects I was experiencing were extreme. The idea of not getting feeling back in my hands is scary. It is even more scary because the numbness that started with my feet, has spread all the way the right leg to my bum. I just can't wait for this to end - and hopefully, it will end when I complete cycle 8 next month.
