Hello,
My wife is currently on T-DM1 and her neuropathy has been getting worse as time goes on. What have you been prescribed or used to treat it? I am especially interested in treatment that reverses(slow, or stabilize) this side effect.
I was going to have her takes glutamine until I read the below article.

Many thanks,
