I found Larry and Kala Massage through one of his suppliers. To cut to the chase, Larry is one of the most helpful, caring, knowledgeable and compassionate people I have ever run across. I give my unqualified recommendation.
My wife has Stage IV breast cancer and we had been searching for cold gloves, slippers and caps to help prevent hair loss, neuropathy and nail detachment during administration of taxol. This is a common practice in Europe but is almost unheard of in the US.
After much difficult research we found Southwest Technologies, which makes these products. Remarkably, none of our doctors could refer us to a source. Since insurance doesn't pay, doctors just don't bother, even though the products can be enormously helpful in mitigating chemo side effects.
We found Larry and Southwest too late, but based on all of our research (and we did a lot), cold treatment can really help, and in spite of what doctors say, the products are available here, from a US manufacturer, through Kala Massage. read more
