tingling

 
Hi---
    Yes, I had tingling in my toes and feet that appeared a 
few weeks after 
I stopped Taxol.  It's neuropathy.   I take mega  doses of
Vitamin B6, too.  
It helps a bit.  I still have the  neuropathy in my feet 3
years later.  It 
shouldn't affect future  chemo.  Just keep taking the B6
through the chemo---I 
think it also has a  preventive effect.
