Hi @Deanne,
Thanks for sharing your experience x
That's great that you were offered gloves. I'm going to ask at my hospital this week.
I think I will make the investment if they don't have them. Maybe I can sell them on afterwards.
I'm most worried about permanent neuropathy rather than nail damage as I make art and craft with my hands.
Did you just have one set of gloves? People talk about starting 15 minutes before transfusion (I think my dose will be an hour) and changing gloves after 45 minutes and keeping them iced for 15 minutes after.
Oh and did you do anything for your feet or were they okay?
