Ice packs for hands and feet during chemo.

Posted by bendeb @bendeb, May 6, 2025

I had read about ice being a possible deterrent to CIPD while going through certain chemo therapy drugs.
Question: If this could possibly help avoid the onset of peripheral neuropathy, why aren’t there ice machines in the chemo clinic? I had Ovarian cancer 5 years ago.
I have had good results from treatment, it was left with CIPN. It has been a life changer for someone who used to be quite active. Yes, I thank God for treatment that saved my life. But, for the price of ice, I could be back to my physically active self.
Any thoughts??
