My oncologist had me meet with the dietitian and she told me to buy glutamine. Took a teaspoon and a half twice a day for two days before chemo and then five days after and it really helped with the neuropathy, I could tell if I didn't take it I paid the price later. It's just a tasteless white powder you can mix with almost anything.
I found if I swished it around my mouth when I started getting mouth sores it helps get rid of those quicker too.

Oh dear, I sure hope mine keeps getting better, I sure would hate to have my feet feel this way for the rest of time!

I started getting neuropathy about round 8 or 9. Just make sure to let your oncologist know about it. Reason being is there are different degrees of neuropathy stage 1-4... Stage 1-2 are completely reversible , stage 3 partially reversible and stage 4 permanent. Just keep your docs informed. I was stage 2 neuropathy , feet, toes and then slowly started in the arms.,Fortunatley I was able to complete all 12 doses of taxol/herceptin and neuropathy went away completely a few weeks later.

My neuropathy is finally gone pretty much from my fingers but still have numb feet. I finished Taxol in the middle of June 2014.

Does anyone know what percentage of of taxol/Herceptin patients only — no previous treatment — develop neuropathy?
