navelbine and fever

Hello,
Has anyone ever had fevers with navelbine. I am on this 2 weeks on, 1 week off and after the 2 weeks I will get fevers and a couple of weeks ago my white count dropped to 1.80, of course I got a neupogen shot and it was back up to 4.5 the next day but the fevers are continuing.
Thank you,
hugs,
kathy

Yes, I had fever while on Navelbine. It started on day 2 and be there for 2 to 3 days in a week. I was on 3 weeks on and one week off schedule. My blood counts were fine.

Hi, Julie2,
Thank you so much for the reply. That will help me to relax. I saw my onco this past Monday and ask him about the fevers and he told me not to worry about them as long as the labs were fine, but they make you feel so bad.
Have a good night,
hugs,
kathy
