Diane -
My pain and discomfort level did NOT change and get worse, even with a 3/4 dose for the last time. And just knowing it was the last dose was a morale booster.
I figured that getting the drug was more important that a few more days of feeling like absolute crap.

L-glutamine. This is something that has NOT been mentioned. This supplement really helps the neuropathy. I was taking this along with the Taxotere. Also used the drug Neurontin to help with the pains. It worked well enough to allow me to sleep.
You can take this even after the chemos and should notice a difference.
