Further Chemo

I have bone, liver and lung mets. After 5 sessions of Capecitabine my CT scan showed my tumours had all increased, so no benefit at all. My Oncologist is now suggesting Navelbine (Vinorelbine). I was wondering if any of you ladies have had this drug and what effect it had. I am undecided as to whether to take any more chemo at present as the chemo Taxol also failed to work for me last year. I am not new to this disease as I have had secondaries of bone for 5 years.
