	Hello! I had taxol as well and used ice mittens and ice socks. In theory, it made sense to me for slowing the circulation so that chemo to those area. I figured it would not hurt. You are welcome ...

	@janedoe7 Hi! Thank you for responding! Like you mentioned, I do find it better when I move more. Just have to remember to take more breaks from working and move. My oncologist mentioned he could try ...

	Hi Debi! I’m on a different estrogen blocker and definitely can be stiff if I am not getting enough movement. Sometimes when I stand up from a chair or get out of the car after a long ride I feel like...

	@janedoe7 yeah that's a good point. I just know I can feel them. What is your breast cancer story btw if you don't mind sharing?
	RE: Hurry up and wait 🙁 By janedoe7, 2 weeks ago Forum Forum
