Re: navelbine/herceptin
I had great success on navelbine/herceptin combo a few years ago. I was on it for a year. I had the same schedule: 3 weeks on, 1 off. It was pretty tolerable, I felt good, sometimes slight nausea the day after infusion but mild. The only issue I had on it was my wbc were always low. I had to give myself neupogen shots for 3 days after each infusion. Once I learned that trick it was very easy and I didn't mind it at all. When I quit navelbine after 1 year I was able to maintain on herceptin only for another 6 months.
I was on navelbine again in this last year. Unfortunately it didn't work as well for me the 2nd time around so I'm not on a different combo.
