Hi @strongtogether,
I would definitely recommend the socks with some extra ice packs around them - they last well, the full hour and a half with the extra ice packs to keep them cold. I rest my feet on the esky I take. The gloves lose the cold quite quickly and are very expensive. I think you could save money and not get them. I use them and then add ice gel packs inside and then use the medium bodichek gel packs on their own, gripping them so they cover both sides of my fingertips especially. I have a photo of this I think, I'll see if I can find it to post. Its great you are going to help out with this because its a bit of a two person job.
I would invest in the Bodicheck small and medium icepacks and the socks personally. Ebay and Ubuy are the sites to find the socks, see above.
I take an esky with a range of gel icepacks and use most of them by the end of the session.
Feel free to contact me directly if you want more info.
@Afraser just from reading forums here and overseas, I think that neuropathy from Paclitaxel and Doxacetal is actually a big problem and affects a lot of people permanently or for years, like you, and also that many people lose their nails and have ongoing problems with them, but that its not spoken of as most people are sent off from treatment with the promise it is going to improve and by the time they realise it isn't that isn't recorded.
