I need some advise and help!

Late last night I began to feel some pins and needles feelings in my feet
and now this morning it continues. Also am beginning to feel some of this on the tips of my fingers......

I completed 11 days ago my 4th chemo trt of TCH......have not called the onc
and will see him on Thur. while I have my 12 hercetpin trt.....

How long does this last?
Is there anything that I can take to ease it up?
Is this permanent?

Also - this is rather strange but Now I am becomming very concerned, has anyone experienced the following:

A thin cord like vein under my arm has appeared. At first I thought it was just a muscle strain from swimming. Then in doing some research I discovered something called Mondor Disease.....it says it is self-limited and benign, its significance lies in the clinican's recognition from primary, "recurrent" or "metastatic carcinoma, or an abscess of the breast.

I have put an e mail out to my surgeon to set up an appt. but I was hoping until I see the dr. someone on the site may have some information on this.

Thanks All,
Jean
