Hello everyone, 

I am due to start chemo in about two weeks. I was told that neuropathy in hands and feet is a common side effect. NHS doesn't offer any preventative measures like cooling gloves and socks but I am told I can bring my own. 

So I am looking for recommendations on which one to get. Have any of you used cooling gloves & socks, which one did you use and have they worked/made any difference?

Any practical tips and advice on what to bring to chemo will also be appreciated. I am starting with 3 cycles of EC followed by 3 cycles of Docetaxel. 

Sending you lots of love and positive vibes.
