Hi everyone I am doing taxol at the moment and I am doing the cooling. I bought the socks and whilst they are great, they don’t stay cold for the whole time. I will attach a couple of pics of what I do. I put the gel socks on and then put my feet on separate gel packs which makes sure my feet stay cold. However I really think that putting your feet in ice is just as effective. You will just need to top up the ice. I actually had to make do last treatment as I forgot to freeze all my packs. 😞 I put my feet in my socks then little plastic bags to stop it being too uncomfortable. It’s a real DIY process, but I think absolutely worth doing. I have a big container for my feet - I have not got a pic. The last pic is the gel packs I got from OS and they last the whole time and I only use them for my feet . The nurses have been fantastic and give me loads of support . Good luck
