So glad you are on an encouraging path. I have been taking L-glutamine powder (30g a day) for 2 weeks now (started during week 6 of Taxol, Herceptin, Perjeta) and am astounded at the progress I've made. No more Big D (well a bit the day after a Perjeta, but that's it) and so far, no real neuropathy. I get a "tingle" here or there in my hands and it resolves. No mouth sores - although they do try to break through. I do salt/b-soda and coconut pulls. Usually it takes one day of this and then they dissipate. My blood levels have also improved. I hope that you continue to soar! Your history ticker is mighty impressive in all that you've endured. Let's hope your next entry is NED and that is the last one posted!!
