I also went on a course of Taxol. I was warned by my oncologist that I may experience neuropathy. She also wanted me to tell her if it it became difficult as sometimes effects can be permanent .
I could only get up to session 10 out of 12 because I had trouble walking. Now months later it has improved but limits my activity. I no longer have problems with my fingers.
The oncologist said not to worry if I had not completed the full course as many people have the same problem.
So some people have no problem others do.
I had chemo prior to surgery. It was a complete success and only needed a lumpectomy.
