Maria:

For a few years now, the hospitals in our province began outfitting women undergoing taxol infusions with huge iced white "boots and mitts" (they looked like oven mitts) to cover feet and hands.

Cold to begin with but you got used to it - in fact I would ask for a second pair of "boots" when the first warmed up. They said they had a lot of evidence that this prevented neuropathy and I'd have to say it worked for me. Other than a bad toenail on one foot (which is finally returning to normal after two years) I had no other effects.
