Xeloda or Navelbine?

[Andi]

I am currently taking Navelbine. I have found it very tolerable, no hair loss, no nausea. My biggest issue was with blood counts, with my whites dropping so that I had to skip one week of taking it. They have since gone back up and have stablized. I also get mouth sores with it if I don't suck on ice or popcicles when they are pushing it in my line. The mouth sores is not a common side effect with this drug, I'm just weird I guess. It is administered by infusion. I know there are others on this site that have experience with both Navelbine and Xeloda, so they can give you their experiences and comparisons. My onc says Xeloda is his favorite chemo because you take it daily and it keeps a more even amount of the chemo in your system. Good luck with your decision, and I hope which ever you chose, it stops the mets and progression.
