so sorry to hear that it has come back worse. They keep coming out with new meds so maybe it will prolong this until the next new treatment comes out. Think positive, right. Enjoy what you can for now. P.S. I hope I have not lost you as a friend for anything I might have said.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for continued progress in your treatment. Hope all goes well.

Navelbine
Hello there,

I live in the UK and have inflammatory breast cancer HER2 positive. This is a recurrence after 6 1/2 years.

WHen it recurred back last year I was put on Taxotere which got rid of some spots on my lung. They tehn put me on to Xeloda for a few months thinking it was going to keep me stable but unfortunately it didn't and now I have spots on both lungs, liver and lymph node. So now I am on Navelbine which apparently is having good results. I have had five doses so far - one dose each week for two weeks and then a week off. I am having a CT scan on 18th November to see if it is kicking these cancer cells into touch.

I am usually unwell on the day I take the Navelbine (it is in tablet form) which lats about 8 hours. I feel nauseous, although no sickness, and very tired and I suppose as if I have a dose of flu.

If there is anything else you would like to know about it or if I can be of help, please contact me on my e mail address Rosiethomas1138@aol.com as I find these discussion boards very difficult to find the messages. Hence taking so long to write to you.

All the very best.

Keep Fighting - Never Give Up

There are so many new drugs out there to help you. Apparently you've got part of the right combo. It is just trial and error to see what combination will kick the cancer's butt.

Hang in there. Don't give up. Be positive. Be the warrior you are.

(((Hugs))) & Prayers

thanks alexis (and everyone else)
You didn't miss an update Alexis. So, here it is. Today was my 4th week of treatments with Navelbine along with Herceptin. It appears as though the tumors in my breast are shrinking again - YEAH! They grew so rapidly that it was scary! Now I have some peace of mind and am feeling good physically too! Last weekend was a little different as on Sunday I felt like I had been hit by a Mack truck. That Friday was the first time I had Zometa with Navelbine and it was probably the combination that caused it. Thanks again for asking and thanks to everyone for all the positive thoughts and prayers - please don't stop! God bless us all.
Marsha

Yeah
Glad to hear your tumors are shrinking....keeping you in my prayers...
