For the neuropathy, I was told by the chemo nurses to take 10g of L-glutamine 3X a day for 3 days before the taxane treatment to continue the day of and after to help prevent the tingling.
I don't know what it would have been like if I did not take it. I did get leg cramps/pain and I did get some tingling in my fingers. It took quite awhile to get all feeling back in my thumbs but they still worked fine.
If you want to try the L-glutamine, you need to buy it at GNC where you can get the powdered version to mix with a drink (OJ or something) as it is impossible to take that many tablets. You will gag.
You probably don't have that many chemos left - maybe 2? You're almost there.
Hugs to you
