Hi Betty
I have been on Navelbine since September (with herceptin) and I have been on a number of drug combinations. I was on taxol/carbo almost all of last year. I have to say that Navelbine has been my favorite. I have very few side effects. Most of the time I hardly know I am on it. I had initial good response and am heading into more scans in the next 2 weeks to see how it is or isn't working.
I hope you find it as easy and definitely hope that it works the dumb cancer over for you!!! Keep us posted.
