Navelbine and fever

Julie2 · 08-30-2007, 04:31 PM

Anybody has experienced fever while on Navelbine? Since last two infusions I am having a fever around 100.8 to 101 and body ache. The first time it started on the same day as infusion but the second time it started two days after the infusion. My WBC and neutrofils are fine and just little less RBC.
I am taking Navelbine and Herceptin. I was recently diagnosed with mets to chest nodes.

Thanks,
Julie

Hey,
I have had one round of navelbine and herceptin. I haven't had fever but have had body aches. It felt like the summer flu.
I have been on herceptin since January, but was on taxotere and had a month's break, then started the navelbine last week. I am 4th stage breast cancer.
Blessings,
kathy

Hi, Julie,
Had my second round of navelbine this Tuesday and last night had a fever just like you. The aches were worse this week also. Have you found out anything?

Hi Kathy,

The ferver was there for the first two rounds of Navelbine. For the 3rd round the side affects are moslty body ache and fatigue. My onc does not have a clue for the cause of the fever.

Hi, Julie.
Thanks for the reply. I got my fever down to normal yesterday but it went right back up, but will have herceptin tomorrow.
