I still have some neuropathy in my feet, and I'm also nearly three years out.
Joanna, that is probably the best description of the feeling/lack of feeling in my toes that I have heard! It doesn't seem to be going away though. I had Taxol and Carboplatin as pre-induction chemo.
The symptom that a couple of others have described, of a tingling sensation when looking down, is different from chemo-induced neuropathy. It is known as L'Hermittes Sign, or L'Hermittes syndrome, and is caused by Radiation to the cervical spine. I had it pretty bad, starting a few months after my last Rad treatment, but it gradually cleared up over about a six month period.
Good Health,
Chuck
