How long does neuropathy last
My oncologist has recommended that I skip my last three Taxol treatments due to the numbness in my fingers and toes - peripheral neuropathy.
Does anyone know how long it might take for the numbness...

Hi Gillian, I finished Taxol in March and also had peripheral neuropathy in my fingers and feet. After a couple of weeks my only my toes and the sole near my toes plus my fingers remained affected. I still have the problem although I have good days when it doesn't seem too bad. I find the type of footwear I choose can effect how my feet feel by the end of the day. at home I only wear ugg boots or slippers and that definitely helps. Most of the time my fingers are ok but as I sit here typing I can feel them tingling.
I don't know how long it will last but I understand that it may not clear up. I am hopeful that over time it will continue to improve. No quick fix and as far as I know, nothing to be done to help.
Good luck. I hope it clears up sooner rather that later for you. Maureen
