Hi Flori,

Looks like I am the odd person out regarding Navelbine side effects. I was on 3 weeks on 1 week off schedule and I had fever every week for two days. The fever starts exactly on the 3rd day and goes upto 101. Also the knee joint and feet pain(not much) and some fatigue. The counts always remained borderline low. I took Leukine on the 3rd cycle to boost the counts and it increased the fever a little more and made little queasy in the stomoch. My onc said these side effects are rare so you shouldn't be worried. Best of luck to you and wish this will be the miracle drug for you.
