Re: If you have ever had Navelbine, pls reply.
Chelee - I am back on navelbine. I was on it a few years ago too. I get navelbine weekly for 3 weeks, then a week off. So 3 weeks on one week off per cycle. I do need to take the neupogen shots too. My doc. prescribed 3 shots after each tx but I've generally been giving myself only 2 shots and have been getting away with that with my wbc staying okay.
I see the doc today & have chemo. I'll ask what my dose is... I know it's based on weight etc. so there are variables & may not be the same weekly dose for each person. I'll also ask if he ever prescribes navelbine every 2 weeks & if so why and does the dosage equal what would be received weekly or is it reduced.
Maybe you get a larger dose every 2 weeks than you would have weekly but you get 2 weeks for your counts to recover between. Could be some advantage in that.
