Cold therapy for paclitaxel
Hi ladies, I’ve been recently diagnosed with triple negative invasive ductal carcinoma, grade 3 with lymph node involvement. I’ve been doing ok-ish, lots of ups and downs since I got the news 2 weeks...

Best to start cold therapy right from the beginning. PN is one of those side effects best not started if you can avoid it. You can surely ring and ask, it’s a perfectly reasonable request. It wasn’t a thing when I was being treated and I have some probably permanent damage. It doesn’t affect too much but I’d still prefer not to have it. The therapy is certainly worth a shot. Others have put together their own ice socks and gloves (there’s a thread on this site) and so am sure can assist you more. Best wishes.
