asking for prayers again (results)
So...on Friday we replaced the Taxotere with NAVELBINE, weekly. I'll continue Herceptin weekly and Zometa once every 4 weeks. If anyone has experienced Navelbine, please share your knowledge with me.
Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I do you. Best wishes and God bless us all.
Marsha

Marsha, I will keep you in my prayers and send positive thoughts. I have seen Navelbine listed on other boards, for example, breastcancer.org. You might check other sites then for comments and others' experiences with this chemo. It seems to be a common treatment in recurrences. Wishing you excellent results with the treatment also.0 -

The part of your message that was the most positive is that your oncologist said you still have lots of options. I hope the new chemo does its job and knocks those nasty spots into oblivion and that you tolerate it well.
