Hi Shellby, Welcome to what I think is one of the best support forums I have found!
I finished FEC~T last June (followed by 15 Rads and now on Anastrozole) and am experiencing a recurrence of side effects plus additional ones from the hormones! It never rains but it pours!
One of the major side effects I have had since last year is the numbness/tingling/pins and needles in both my hands and legs/feet, mostly in legs and feet.
I had to laugh this week where it has been warm and sunny i like to sit outside in the back garden and read and my son had to keep telling me that there was a fly on my leg or foot because i couldnt feel it walking along on certain bits!! LOL!
My Onco told me that this side effect could go on for years! I also sometimes get this weird feeling that when i get up and start walking its like the muscles in my legs turn to jelly for a minute and you think they are going to buckle so i shake them and it goes away!
Keep smiling and take care!
Cheers, Michele x
