Hi Tasia,
I'm going to tag you in the post I wrote which has anecdotal evidence from people who tried cold therapy about their experience so you can read about it for yourself. I don't agree with your BC nurse. My oncologist is now recommending this therapy after seeing my good results.
It sounds pretty bad but it is just uncomfortable (and thats from someone who did 12 weeks of it!) It can't hurt anyway.
There are a few positive studies but it hasn't been well researched, perhaps because there is no money to be made.
I have a friend who had symptoms early in her treatment (on AC) who started cold therapy before Taxol and made it through the whole course - so I've seen it work. She was TNBC too. I used cold therapy and only had one week where I experienced symptoms and that was when the infusion dragged on and my thumbs didn't stay cold.
Whichever way you go I wish you well :)
