Hi @Siewli, my oncologist offered a week break because of neuropathy. It's ok. I was meant to have 10 rounds of taxol but after the 7th round I got neuropathy and still have loss of feeling in my toes especially at night but very mild. After the 7th round my oncologist reduced the taxol to 90%. Maybe discuss a slightly less dose to get you through. Also check what percentage your treatment plan is in terms of chemo. If you are going on hormone suppression or AI's you might find that those pills for 5 to 10 yrs play a bigger part of your treatment plan. For me surgery, chemo and radium made up 40% of my treatment plan and the AI's I am on make up 60%. Take care
