Has anybody been on a chemo called Navalbine? Just wondering what your side affects have been like? Kodi

    Hi Kodi!

    I've not been on Navalbine but if you do a search on it on this site (at the bottom of this page), there are 3 hits, including yours here.
    Apparently it's not been heavily used.

    How is your Dad? (Hoping I have the right memory on who has breast cancer! *smiles*)
    Tell him hello for me!

    Be well,

    I have been on Navalbine since Oct '04. Side effects I have in clude slow hair loss, neuropathy in my hands and fatigue. However those are all tolerable since my tumor markers have returned to normal after a slow but steady rise before navalbine. Ellen
