cool packs

Hi all,

I jumped the gun a while back and bought myself a set of cool packs to wear during treatment to hopefully reduce any neuropathy, it  turns out that due to the drugs I would be given they are really not recommended.

So I now would like to take them off of my (warm ) hands? 

  • I'm sorry to hear the cool packs you picked up can't be used alongside the treatment you'll be having.

    It's so lovely and generous of you to offer them to others who may need them but unfortunately personal details cannot be exchanged on the Cancer Chat forum, so it won't be possible to do that here.

    You could try asking your oncology team if they know of anyone who could make use of them, but if that doesn't work you could try returning them to where you got them from.

    In the meantime, if you have any further questions about your treatment or how you could reduce any neuropathy that may occur, you can give our cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very knowledgeable and will do all they can to help.

    I hope this helps and all goes well with your treatment.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
