Taxol neuropathy--advice?

I've had 5 infusions of Taxol and Herceptin (following dose-dense AC) and I am really starting to get some neuropathy in my fingers. They don't hurt. They are just numb and it is getting difficult to do some tasks with them.
I'm wondering if others are going through this and if they are finding anything that helps. I took glutamine for the first couple of infusions and the numbness went away after 3 days. But both my oncologists said to stop it because it can make tumors grow. I do take B12 and a B Complex. Are there other things that your docs recommend? I really want to complete the course of Taxol and Herceptin but I also don't want permanent neuropathy.
Thanks in advance for all of your input.
Hugs,
Deb
