Pam,
We have no experience with Navelbine. However Neupogen was a staple at our house during Cyndi’s first chemo back in 99. A/C at full dose knocked Cyndi’s counts in the toilet and she took Neupogen for seven days after each treatment. At first she took the injections in her thigh although she had the choice of having them in the stomach. The thought of a stomach injection was not a pleasant thought. A survivor friend finally convinced her to try the stomach version and Cyndi never gave another thought to having one in the thigh. The inj. site at the thigh would hurt for several days, this did not happen in the stomach.
Side effect from the Neupogen is bone pain which makes one walk funny (to avoid lifting feet any more than necessary) we called it the Neupogen shuffle. All in all the drug did a good job and the side effect was not overwhelming.
Best to you,
ron
