taxol neuropathy s

[BonnieR]

My oncologist recommended 30 gms of glutamine a day. It is a powdered amino acid dietary supplement that can be purchsed at health food stores. You mix it in beverages. Ask your doc about it.
I was also on Neurontin for other issues (have recently come off)
My neuropathy symptoms would be worse towards the end of a day or when particularly tired. Still have some. But it is less all the time.
Keep the faith

I only had 8 chemo treatments. The last 4 were Taxol and I did not find it a very kind drug. I had neropathy. I wore little white cotton gloves to deal with my hands and the problems there. I had diffiucltly walking. When the pain was more than I could handle, they gave me decadron. I would talk to your doctor alot. Not sure why you have to be on taxol for so long, but make sure you know the reasons why. If it is killing the cancer, that is good. I have no left over problems from my neropathy, but I think others on this site have had lingering problems. I would be cautious of Nerotin also....sorry for the negative reply. I am no expert....just keep asking questions.
