TCH: ICING of hands and feet, tea tree oil

Another discussion: I've been throwing bags of frozen peas on Ruth's hands and feet during Taxotere infusion in effort to help her nails and maybe prevent issues of peripheal neuropathy from taxotere. Opinions?

Could cancer cells "hide out" in hands and feet? Seems unlikely, and I think those would be zapped sooner or later, but I don't want to do anything stupid. Nurses haven't been saying a word, so I am figuring OK?

Oh, and one thing we read elsewhere was tea tree oil applied to nails. Haven't seen much mention at all of that on this site. 2nd chemo nurse swears by it. I think this one can't hurt>
