I was told by my oncology doctor today that my chemo may cause neuropathy. She said they say to use ice before during and after treatment (15 mins. each time). I was looking into this and see Amazon sells them. Can anyone tell me if they have used them and if it seems to work? Thank you!

    I’m really sorry to hear you’re going through this. It’s great that you’re looking into ways to manage potential side effects. The use of ice during chemotherapy is a method some people find helpful in reducing neuropathy risk, though experiences can vary. If you decide to try ice packs from Amazon, it might be worth checking the reviews for any specific feedback on their effectiveness. I hope you find some relief and support during your treatment.
