Anais Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Hi, Has anyone had a chemo treatment using Navelbine ? How were the results ? I heard it was successful for NSCL. Thanks, Anaïs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaMRG Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 My father was switched to Navelbine because the carbo/taxotere was too hard on his platelets. He gets a little numbness in his fingers and some muscle cramps, his hair only thinned a little bit, he did need some neupogen and one transfusion but he has lower blood counts than most people to begin with. This sounds like a lot of side effects but he really tolerated it quite well, except for fatigue. He looks well. He will have his scans next week and we will get the results Fri 9/26 so we are PRAYING I will be posting that info in GOOD NEWS!!! I am interested in hearing any other info on Navelbine too.
