I started about a month ago. I’ve only been through1 cycle and didn’t have any problems with how I felt or anything like that. My problem is that I’m very sensitice to chemo so my white blood count is down so I have to delay an extra week, I get blood checked Thursday and if it’s ok start round two. My oncologist was upbeat about how few reactions there are to this. Good luvk

Thank you for taking the time to write, it can be a lonely journey, so any news is always a beacon. I suspect that I too will be delayed re WBC, wish there was something to keep that from falling, something POPEYE-ish, a good can of spinach.

But, I thank you again and wish you well and am happy to here that for the most part you tolerated this well.

Last question any hair issues or weight issues, like loss or hair thinning or weight gain, water retention or loss?

May you kick this sooner rather than later, good luck. Happy Memorial Day.

i had five cycles of navalbine and had abdominal pain and constipation after first cycle which was felt to be a side effect so dose was reduced. Hope you are doing well with it

I had my first treatment of Navelbine today and I wanted to see if anyone could provide any feedback? Thanks in advance for your help
