Taxol

I just finished with my Taxol treatment early, due to severe burning and itching in my hands and feet.
This has been going on a little over a month.
My question is, how long will this side effect last. It is driving me crazy!!
I am currently taking vitamin B and Gabapentin, and it is not helping much.

Dear cmw1993: There is wide variability in how long a given symptom may last. There is no way to predict or estimate in any individual case. Hopefully, it will begin to resolve very shortly.
