I took 5 grams of the L glutamine (took for 2 days before the taxol treatment, the day of treatment and the day after treatment). I still had some neuropathy in my fingers (not bad) and some leg cramps (walking and moving around actually helped alot).


I did not do taxol and herceptin concurrently (which is a bit better than sequentially as I take it (after chemo and rads were done)) so I started the CoQ 10 a couple of weeks before starting herceptin. Since I did not take herceptin with chemo, I take more CoQ 10 so follow Al's advice about dosage. After the taxol is over and you are not on rads either, you can take more. Don't take more than Al advises until taxol and radiation are over.

I am Stage 2A (1.9 cm tumor, 1 node, ER+PR (neg)). We're here for you and here to help you through.

Warm regards
