Hey Vickie,

I just stared navelbine with my herceptin for crazed liver mets that I have had for over 4 years. I have found it very tolerable, some neuropathy, but I just did 8 mos. of taxol/carbo so who knows what is what.

Anyway, I have had 4 weekly tx so far and for the last week i have been SO blue. Tears just don't stop. I did also get a period and had total PMS, but the tears still won't stop, so now I'm wondering if this is related to the navelbine. I din't write you to talk about me, just to let you know that there is another person with blues on this drug and that I am thinking of you and praying that this combination works great for you. Better get something out of it, huh?

Love to you
