Thank you for the suggestions! I am looking into a foot spa thing for her to use while she is watching movies, reading a book, or just relaxing. Thanks for your help! I think this is a lovely idea.

Hi Everyone, My Mom finished 12 rounds of modified FOLFOX 6, six weeks ago and her neuropathy in her toes and finger tips has gotten pretty bad. She has been using heating pads but I was just curious if there was anything else I could get her as a gift for her upcoming birthday to do a little neurop...
