New to site. Found this forum out of frustration. Had chemo for breast cancer. The lump was right on the size line between chemo or no chemo needed. I was scared and confused at the time and I feel the doctors pushed me right into it. Half way thru I started getting numbness in hands and feet. Was told not to worry, that was normal and it would all go away after treatment To make a long and painful story shorter, it is now 5 months after chemo and not much improvement. The doc is still saying "don't worry, be happy - it will all go away in 6 months after treatment"

This is all going away in another month ? I don't think so !!! My face, head & back all feel like I am wearing a latex glove (can feel most things but not the light surface touch). Fingers are slightly numb (the only part of my body that has improved a bit). Feet are lumpy and legs from ankle to above the knees are surface numb.

Take b vitamins but I don't know how much it is helping - afraid to stop to see if it gets worse. I can handle lumpy feet & fingers that don't feel quite right - I just want all the surface numbness to go away.
