Celina, I had some bone aches with Navelbine, but not as severe as your sister seems to be experiencing. I would take Tylenol whenever I needed, but it seems as if maybe she needs something stronger?
The loss of appetite is troubling, she needs to keep her strength up. Have you tried "Ensure" or some of the other liquid supplements, they're especially designed for cancer patients. My mother-in-law's friend would whiz it in the blender with some ice cubes to make a nutritious milk shake. For extra protein, add a bit of peanut butter; if she can get some of this down every hour or so, it will help.

Love, Lolly
