Wanted to pick your guys brains. I have been on this combination about 2 1/2 years ago and did fine. I was then on Tykerb/Xeloda, but have recently been taken off and put back on Herceptin/Navelbine again. AFter 2 treatments, my blood counts dropped and couldn't receive my 3rd round of Navelbine. I seem to be having some hair loss and I have terrible neuropathy. I don't remember having any of this during my first treatment with these drugs.

Has anyone heard of these side effects? My oncologist is cutting my dose of Navelbine back a little to see if that helps.
