I was on Navelbine from Oct. 2006 - March 2007 then off until July when my PET scan "lit up" and have been back on Navelbine since then. My husband is diligent about tracking all of my counts/numbers and the AST, ALT and alk phos levels have stayed within normal range while on Navelbine.

Sept-2006: PET/CT scan of mets to liver, spine and femurs - Stable. Activity in R breast & mediastinum (not seen in prior scans).
Navelbine (3 wks on/1 wk off) as of Oct--2006 & continued Herceptin (every 3 wks) & Zometa (every 6 wks)
Jan-2007: PET/CT Scan - Stable. Continued Nav. through March-2007, then Herc./Zom. only after that.
June-2007: PET/CT Scan - activity in mediastinum. Back on Navelbine as of July-2007.
Scanned Quarterly since Oct-2007 - a few small scares, but otherwise stable due to continuing weekly Navelbine, Herceptin and Quarterly Zometa.

Hi Juie!
My AST & ALT were both high during Navelbine. I worried about it but my onc didn't so I quir worrying! As soon as I was off, they went back down!
