I started feeling numbness in my fingers after my first weekly treatment, so I was very worried as was my doctor. It got worse up through my sixth treatment, and now the numbness has actually gotten better this last week, but I am doing a lot for it. I take glutamine powder three times a day for four days. I take B6 and go to acupuncture weekly. Research shows borage oil and liploic acid helps diabetes neuropathy and researchers speculate that it may help neuropathy from taxol. I also take celebrex for pain. As for neurontin, the data is extremely clear (ask any neurologist). It helps pain but not numbness. I took a lot of measures, but I was quite frightened when I had numbness from the get go. Also, the sooner you start on whatever treatment the better. I hope you find some things that work.
