Paclitaxel

I found I was almost scoffed at by some oncology nurses when I carried in my cold bag full of ice packs each week. And it was VERY uncomfortable, and difficult to set up by myself each week with no support person due to COVID. I just felt like I had to do whatever i could to save my hands and feet and make sure I could get through every treatment. So, I don’t know if it worked or if I was just a lucky one to escape PN but I got a few minor tingles in the tips of a couple of fingers and that’s it. Finished 30th April and haven’t noticed anything else since. I wish there could be some serious studies done on it so it could be recognised if it works and be offered in all chemo wards. It’s a simple solution to a difficult problem if it actually is shown to work.
