Vinorelbine - Anyone had good results on this?

BC-Lass, Just the lymph nodes in chest.

Funnyface - do you have other mets apart from lungs?

I was thinking this too, perhaps you can have V in the future? I'm not sure about Carb, I don't think you lose your hair on it. But I hope it works well and you soon feel less bloated and uncomfortable. X
Don't know if you may already have seen this but just in case this is some info from I found on the Macmillan site.

Hello, I'm Belinda's friend sho was on vinorelbine for 5 years for lung mets. I live jn the USA and my insurace wouldn't pay for the oral form. I started with 3 weeks on and one off. After a few months went to the same total dose being given in 2 weeks instead of three. This chemo was an easy ride for most people. I see that you aren't going on this drug now, but wanted to tell you in case for the future. Funnyface

[belinda]

Yes a good friend was on this chemo for years, she has BC and lung mets.
I hope it works well for you and knocks everything back and keeps it quiet again for a long time. XX
