Those of you who've dealt with navelbine, please let me know your experience: side effects? how long have you been on it? is it working?

Navelbene IS a GOOD anti-cancer drug! I am living proof it works. I also know others here in Seattle area with 2 and 3 time mets who have good results from navelbene.
I had major liver mets just 2 years ago. Prognosis not good at all. Went on a clinical trial with navelbene and taxol, with herceptin added for my her-2 plus 3 status. Results were remarkable after just 4 treatments. I stayed on this protocol weekly for almost 7 months and had a COMPLETE RESPONSE. Off chemo now for 18 months. Maintain with herceptin (my good old "vitamin H") and Zometa.
Keep the faith. Modify your intake of antioxidants while on chemo so the drugs can do their work. Stay away from foods with added hormones that may stimulate tumors. Drink some detox teas every day.
Main lingering side effect is some neuropathy in my hands, but L-glutamine helped that. I had NO nausea. Had N. with taxol so lost hair again, had mouth sores - the usual.
