Hi All,
I am 3 treatments into an 18 treatment regimen of abraxane (taxol like drug) and carboplatin. I am starting to get some pain in my feet and was wondering if any of you who have had peripheral neuropathy used glutamine and B6 to any success? I've also read that some think glutamine might protect the tumor from the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy.
I am trying to stay ahead of side effects but don't want to jeopardize my therapy. I would appreciate any anecdotal (or scientific) evidence you could give.
