Hi, I also experienced some numbness and tingling in my fingers and toes. It seemed to be worse for me in the feet and actually created some discomfort when walking. I finished my chemo in Dec 05 and still have some minor numbness in my fingers and still have some in my toes. It seems to be lessening the more time goes by. So I could have some minor permanent damage but I would say the majority of the tingling and numbness is subsiding.

I wish you all the best and hope that you find yours will go away completely after you finish your treatment. All the best, Kool
