Navelbine
I am getting ready to start Navelbine next week. This will be my 3rd line chemo. I did Taxol for a year weekly and then off a year. I started Tykerb. Xeloda could not take made me sick and then they started Gemzar which I ended up in the hospital after 2 rounds for 3 months. I developed ARDS and was on a vent for 8 days. At that point I lost all ability to walk.(Through rehab I can walk again. Praise God) I was also diagnosed with TTP during that time which is a blood disorder and there are tiny blood clots through out your body. It has messed with my kidney function however it is much better now. They say it was caused by the Gemzar. I was not expected to live. I am really scared to start a new chemo, but I am also scared not to. Any personal info on Navelbine would be so greatly appreciated.
