Navelbine and Herceptin
Donna,
I have been on weekly Herceptin plus Navelbine since March 2003. The Navelbine is administered two weeks on and one week off. I have tolerated this treatment quite well. Because of one day of treatment, I can function the other six days of the week. The side effects are mild neuropathy in the feet and a lowered red cell count, thus fatigue. These are being counteracted with iron pills and an injection of Aranesp every two weeks when needed. I rely on premedications through the IV to keep me from ill effects. Let me know if you want to know the premeds that are administered to me.
Good luck to your Mom,
Maggie in Maryland
