Krista,
I feel for you, but keep going if you can. When I took A/C it was the worst for me. After the 4th treatment I told my husband I wasn't doing this anymore. It was a good thing that was my last dose. I then took 4 rounds of taxol. I too, had alot of neuropathy in my feet and hands. I would drop alot of things ( very inconvenient since I work as a nurse.) I continued to keep working. This helped keep my mind focused on other things. I lost all my eyelashes, nails got some kind of fungus that went away after treatment and skin peeled very badly. I am happy to say that all these side effects went away gradually. Even the neuropathy. Please hang in there this will all pass. Keeping you in my thoughts.
