My parter is about to start Taxol (paclitaxel) chemotherapy and we are worried about pain/numbness in his hands and feet resulting as side-effects.
Can anyone recommend a specific ice glove or socks which are practical to take to hospital. Previous chemo sessions at our hospital have always involved long waits and delays. Adding that to the journey time, I can't see how anything we bring in will stay frozen long enough to remain effective.
Thanks
Sue
