I, too, have foot and hand numbness (primarily on my right side). I cannot walk without pain. I have been told it is a neruoma from a podiatrist, which may be true. However, I believe it is also the risidual effects of Taxol from undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. I am in so much pain every day. My pain goes from my foot up to my knee. It's predominat in the evenings after my day at work. I do believe it is neuropathy from the Taxol. My dad went through colon cancer, and Taxol made his feet very sore. Thank you for your post. I am trying to find out what is going on with me -
