    Hello.  I had numbness and pins and needles in my hands and feet every time I had my chemo, and even now, long after the chemo has finished I still have numbness and pins and needles sometimes.  Contact your cancer care team and speak to them about any concerns you have.  That's what they are there for.  Good luck.
