hi-
i did 41 weeks of weekly taxol and had some neuropathy in my fingers & toes..toes first, mostly the bottom of my toes...numbness, like i'd been sitting on my toes & they fell asleep.then the same in my fingers.what was more problematic is that my fingernails started to discolor & seperate/peel back from the nail bed.now THAT was painful.
my doc encouraged me to use glutamine powder mixed w/water and tea tree oil under my fingernails.it seemed to help quite a bit.
i also tried to keep my fingers in an ice batch during the taxol infusion (to constrict the blood vessels & decrease the flow of taxol), but that is cumbersome and pretty uncomfortable.
hope this info is helpful!
