During my Docetaxel and Cabazitaxel infusions, I was always given gel cooling pads to wrap my toes and fingers in. In both cases I only had a few thin black stripes in my nails at the end.

Hi,

Yes that was suggested to me recently. Even though I am at Stanford University, no cold therapy services are offered. I just bought some gloves/socks on Amazon. I tried them with my last infusion. Brrr!
