Re: If you have ever had Navelbine, pls reply.
I have been on Navelbine 3 weeks on/1 week off for 2+ years now. I usually get an "80% dose" for each of those 3 weeks and get Neupogen for 3 days after each weekly treatment. If I am going away, I get 2 weeks of Navelbine at "100% dose" (followed by the Neupogen shots) and then 2 weeks off. Also note that I get Herceptin (roughly once every 3 weeks) and Zometa (once a quarter).
Hope this helps. Also note - I had a quarterly CT scan of the chest/abdomen/pelvis yesterday and this regimen is contiuing to keep things "stable" for me.
