@Shelley_H,
I have very similar chemo treatment as you. 4 xAc every fortnightly and 12 weekly Taxols. I am hormone +, Her2-. 2/13 lymph nodes positive and axillary clearance.

Had to skip the last taxol as my neuropathy escalated after the 11th taxol. My feet was extremely painful every morning and I had pins and needles on both feet ( not just toes).Some of my fingers are also affected. It’s 6 weeks since I have completed chemo. Both my feet are still numb. My oncologist was glad I managed to complete 11 taxols. In his opinion, if patients can complete at least 8, it is a good outcome (weighing the benefits vs risks). He says the treatment isn’t just solely chemo. There’s still radiation and meds which I will have to be on. And advised me against doing Taxol 12. I am glad I listened as I am still trying to manage the neuropathy today.
p.s, I am currently in midst of radiation treatment.
hope your neuropathy improves
