Hi I had 4 ACs was suppose to have 12 weekly taxols by 8th taxol I couldn't feel my feet - it was finally stopped then and I was glad. I ended chemo end of Jan this year and finished radio in April. Up until about 3 weeks ago it was still pretty bad so much so I couldn't drive or walk some days. I did gentle massage on my own feet ( organic rose hip oil) and neuropathy exercises with both feet and hands tai chi at home finally I saw a neurologist and was relieved to receive the news that it was feeling based and not deep nerve damage - and I'm really glad it was stopped at that point. I still have some numbness pain in feet but finally I'm getting somewhere. I find it increases when I'm overtired big hugs everyone is different I have girlfriends that had no really bad effects from taxol on a plus note my hair grew back during taxol and for some reason my skin glowed - go figure xx
