navelbine
Hi Donna,
I am on weekly Herceptin and weekly Navelbine (3 wks on/1 wk off). Just started 3 wks ago. Also on Aridia every other mo. I did the same thing (Herceptin and Navelbine schedule) for 6 months from last August through this February which causes my tumors on sternum and lungs to shrink almost completely but the sternum ones came right back after stopping Navelbine. Also did neupogen injections to keep red cell count up. Constipation was a challenge. By the time I would have the 3rd Navelbine (before the 1 wk off), I would start getting a couple funny bumps on some of my fingers that were some kind of fungus. They would recede after the 1 wk off. After the 6 mos, I had lost close to 40% of my hair. I have also been plagued by urinary tract infections which were not caused by the Navelbine but probably weren't helped either. This is all I can think of at the moment.
Best wishes to your mom.
Karen
