Hi Lisa

I too have this problem..on chemo. however find L-glutamine powder helpful and also Q10 and reishi extract (ups WBC) as well. Before I had BC I used to catch a lot of colds and found that 50 mg/day Q10 was helpful; this was before I knew about its cardio and anti cancer effects. I now take 100-200 mg a day stopping gradually 3 days before chemo. (which I have now finished). The reishi extract I take is called AstraFotre Immune Support and contains Astragalus as well as reishi extract and is a syrup formulated for colds and flu. I started this mostly to stop the fatigue during chemo (by upping WBC).

Cheers
jackie
