Icing up and timing

Posted by moshi @moshi, 3 days ago

Hi.. Tnbc Moshi Warrior Sister here. Currently on taxol weekly..x 12, then will do doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide biweekly x 4.
I bring a handy rolling medium cooler with my own ice and bags. I wear the throw up bags over my feet and put my feet in the cooler… and use the throw up bags for my hands to put in 2 individual bigger bags filled half with ice. It’s kindof a crackup but effective.
I only start icing 5 minutes before taxol starts and am lucky if I make it 15 minutes in. No problems yet…. But I need to get better before I start the 3 hour big dog regime. I’m a little scared. Icing protocol is an individual choice… wondering what others do and if the gloves are any better… thanks.
Oh… and yeah… I’m strong, and brave, and beautiful…even if I don’t feel it… and cancer sucks…
Peace
