I'm on Navelbine/Herceptin also for liver (and bone) mets. The first 2-3 months on Navelbine were tough on me. Often felt like a Mack truck hit me. Lots of digestive issues. Tried several prescriptions for constipation/diarrhea. Finally tried Traditional Medicine's "Smooth Move" tea. That seems to keep me pretty regular. 3 other things I used for the whole achy stomach problems. One, I quit eating gluten for a while. Apparently, many people on Navelbine have a sensitivity to wheat. Second, I had 4 accupuncture sessions. And third, I took acidophilus tablets daily to help balance the intestinal flora. Don't know what worked. But eventually, I regained appetite and got past the "yucks." good luck
Love and light,
Lisa
