I experience the same unpleasant sensations. I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in November 2008. I had chemotherapy including Taxani. Also from 2008 to present I take Letrozole (aromatic a inhibitor for hormone dependent breast cancer) I have numbness/pins/tingling sensations in lower and upper limbs. Also, chin, lower/upper lip numbness. EMG shows sensory only peripheral neuropathy and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Welcome @raluca64, I'm sorry to hear you have neuropathy caused by your chemotherapy treatments. You are not alone. You might find it helpful to scan through discussions and comments by other members with chemo induced neuropathy. Here is a list of the discussions and comments - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/?search=chemo%20induced%20neuropathy.

Have you done any research on complementary or alternative treatments for the neuropathy symptoms?
