Hi @ajh5285, I see you started several discussions about chemo side effects, especially side effects to your feet. You ask great questions and offer some solutions too. I’ve merged the posts into one discussion and added it to the Cancer: Managing Symptoms support group.

To help answer your questions and to share tips that helped them regarding sleep position, footwear and cold feet, I’m tagging fellow members like @beth123 @helenar @lfitz @asingh90 @luciad @davidtd @susanpmadigan @mayoconnectuser1.

I, too, hate cold feet. Ajh, what recommendations have the chemo nurses offered? They often have good tips. I’d like to hear what they might say about using frozen peas.

I hear your problem with coldness and neuropathy. My cousin Maryann is going through the same thing. She cannot feel her fingers and it is difficult for her to pick up items. She is going to try and use white cotton gloves to see if that will help. I will let you know if it works
Sincerely Susan
