Coldness or compression therapy for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN)
Hi I haven't started my chemo for TNBC yet. I was looking into using the cold therapy gloves and socks, spoke to the BC nurse who said that was a good idea. But then my Medical Oncologist mentioned double tight surgical gloves to help reduce CIPN. So I did some research, found that doubled tight surgical gloves and compression socks, are just as effective as cold therapy gloves and socks. Has anyone used either therapies, what are the pros and cons of each. Thanks in advance. DB20ViewsSign in to react to this post0Comments
Chemo treatment
Start chemo next week. Diagnosed TNBC, surgery/nodes all came back clear. Doing chemo then radiation to make sure no microscopic cells will come back later on. Chemo using is docetaxel and cyclophosphamide and two days later injection of pegfilgrastim(boost immune system) after each treatment, once every three weeks for twelve weeks Wondering if anyone has had similar treatment, if so what side effects they had and how did they manage while being treated and any good things to help me go through it to make it more manageable. Have had radiation before ten yrs ago for HER2-, chemo is all new to me. TIA201ViewsSign in to react to this post1Comment
