I can’t give you any first hand advice about ice treatment for neuropathy. When I was being treated 12 years ago, it wasn’t being offered. Some people swear it’s saved most of their hair, some can’t stand it (the chill factor can be quite extreme). If I were doing it again, I might give it a shot. To some extent it depends on how important saving most of your hair is to you, and whether your oncology clinic offers the treatment.
I didn’t like losing my hair, but it wasn’t traumatic, I wore a wig which looked great.
Best wishes.
