I had radiation. I mentioned it to my radiation oncologist and a covering oncologist. They said it is probably from the hormone blockers. I take the pill and get a shot. I am going to tell my oncologist when I see her though. Thanks.

Hi Michelle, the pins and needles feeling definitely sounds like neuropathy- a side effect of some chemo drugs. Please let your team know, especially if you have not completed all your chemo sessions yet. The trigger finger was something that also happened to me during chemo- it still happens occasionally- usually with my thumb. It happened more often during chemo, and now that the treatments are done- it only happens occasionally, and it is usually very brief in duration, often less than a minute! Hugs!
