Karen,
You are having the same treatment that I had. They stopped mine after 4 because my blood counts went too low and I was developing neuropathy. I had to keep a diary and I have just read it again, this is part of what I put in it:
"Pins and needles in hands and feet more or less constant and although I can walk it is uncomfortable. Soles of the feet are burning and pain killers (Neurofen) do not have any effect.
Fingers and toes are painful and it is hard to push pills through foil. I have tried holding a pen and writing (you asked about that last time), I can write but the letters have to be larger than I would normally write. My dexterity is not there."
The diary entry coupled with my low blood counts were instrumental in my Consultant deciding that 4 rounds of chemo were sufficient for me. I am still having Herceptin and had number 12 last week. I also had radiotherapy and had more than most but I don't know if that was because the chemo was cut short.
My worst side effect (not a worry to the Consultant but dreadful for me) was the water retention and contstantly watering eyes. I have only just been able to go back to my contact lenses.
I do feel for you and want to let you know that you will feel better within a few weeks of your last dose xxx
