Wink Navelbine

I took Navelbine with Herceptin successfully. No hair loss, only slight hair thinning. No nausea. I took special supplements for my white and red blood counts instead of shots. The I. V. infusion is supposed to be in 10 minutes or less,which means you might be in the chemo room for a shorter period of time, depending on what else you are going to get with it. I did experience fatique, but my naturopath told me the original source of Navelbine was the periwinkle plant and the American Indians used that plant as a sedative, so I needed to get some extra rest afterwards.
I think you will like it compared to other medicines with more side effects. The main thing is that it will work and you will have less cancer someday. Good luck with it.
