Struggling with tingling, painful sensation on my hands

@gugun, I'm neither advocating for or against cooling or ice gloves to help reduce chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). I have seen articles such as this study suggesting it could be helpful:
- The Impact of Peripheral Cooling on Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy: An Integrative Review https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7810270/
@muradangie might have more information.
Did your oncology team provide any education about CIPN or why they didn't like cooling gloves?

@gugun- I would agree with Colleen's comment. The only thing I would have to add is to make sure you communicate with your care team and treating physician about these symptoms you are experiencing. I also am curious why your oncology treatment team didn't like the cooling gloves too?
