I just completed a full cycle of A/C chemo which didn't really work for me. I have mets to both lungs, liver and the small of my back. The lesions in my lungs and back actually grew during the A/C round of chemo, so the Dr's are switching me to weekly doses of Navelbine.
Does anyone have any experience with the side effects of this drug?

Can't they do a chemo sensitivity testing to see which chemo will work best?

Yes, but the results of those tests aren't very accurate b/c the cells behave very differently in a petri dish than in the body.
I've been on Navelbine for 4 wks now and notice only a few side effects: soreness in right arm (injection arm), tingling in my fingertips sometimes. It does do a number on my white blood cell count though!
Here's to 3 more doses!
