Paclitaxel and cooling gloves?

Going through breast cancer treatment Chemotherapy

Hi, I’m about to start 4 rounds of Paclitaxel. Oncologist mentioned cooling gloves to reduce likelihood of long term neuropathy. I’d love to hear people’s recent experience of the various cooling gloves available on amazon. Any recommendations? 

Also, does anyone have a feel for how common long term neuropathy is after only 4 sessions. Am I worrying too much about unlikely outcomes?
