Has anyone had long term treatment with the chemo drug Navelbine? My husband is having some serious weakness in his legs which has caused him to fall several times. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Hello,
    I was reading about Navelbine and depending on the dose and length of time, it can cause nerve damage which might explain the problem. It seems that a visit to the neurologist is in order.
    Good Luck
