Hi Kathy,
Thanks for your update and the video, those resources are great thank you :) We've also ordered a set of the cold gloves / socks (plus spare ice packs) from Amazon which we'll definitely be using from the minute they arrive! From what I've read and from the personal experience of lovely people like @GinGin it seems to be worth the effort - our Onco nurse even encouraged it when we spoke to them.
It's really interesting how they just stop the rounds rather than reducing the dose - my first instinct would also be to question whether I'd be jeopardizing any potential for additional benefit from the treatments I'd be missing, however it sounds like they're all over it. How many more sessions did you have left? Rebecca's got a dose-dense 4 rounds of AC + 12 weekly Taxols after which sounds like a LOT - hopefully we'll be able to manage through them all and get a good response.
What's on the cards next for you in your journey? Hopefully a chance to at least take a breath and pat yourself on the back for all the hard yards you've put in <3
Take care!
George
