Wendy, I do not remember if your husband had chemo. If so, that is a side effect. My toes were pretty strange feeling, not exactly numb either, but a couple of months post treatment I suddenly realized that they felt normal again. It may have been a bit longer, come to think of it. In any event, this may be just one more instance where time will heal. I recommend asking the doctor about this, as he may be able to give you more concrete information.
