Hi Janelle,
Linda just finished about 10 monhs of navelbine. The main side effects are bone pain, (sometimes severe), constipation,and over time, possible nerve damage in your extremities. You will probably have to take neupogen or neulasta for blood support as the CBC counts get hit pretty hard. In terms of quality of life, it is probably one of the friendlier chemos, maybe fatigue the first 1 1/2 days, no hair-loss. Anorexia may be a side effect but not for all. Very synergistic with herceptin and effective for liver mets.
Good luck,
Al
