Chemo cold gloves and socks.

Hi

I’m having weekly chemo - Paclitaxel & Carboplatin and daily radiation Mon to Fri for 4.5 weeks.  I’ve had one infusion so far and have itchy hands - a bit like eczema. I haven’t gone for the ice cap but I’m thinking about getting ice gloves & socks to help protect from neuropathy during chemo sessions. Can anyone recommend some or a retailer and advise if this will affect the length of my chemo session like a cap would? I’ve looked on Amazon but not sure which are more effective.

Thank you
