I was on Navelbine for three years taking it off and on. Each time I used it only for 4 cycles as I had complete response. But the 4th time I had progression while on the drug and had to go off. The side effects I had were low fever on the 2nd and 3rd day after infusion. And slight decrease in the blood counts but not that much. Otherwise it is a very tolerable and efficient drug.
