Re: Are pre-meds needed...
Navelbine is one of the easiest kinds of chemo to take. I took it with Herceptin way back when..............
I only had a little diarrhea and tiredness the morning after my treatment. That was it. I didn't take or need any premeds. The doc gave me anti nausea pills, but I never used them.
Navelbine was developed for lung cancer and then the scientists discovered it would help breast cancer. It is one of the chemotherapies that had a plant as it's original source (periwinkle).
