I am not quite sure how long it has been but a few weeks ago I was facing some decisions and whined to you all about being tired. Well if you remember my tumor marker has been increasing just kind of creeping along. I have it done monthly and my nurse practioner who moved away said when it got to 60 we would worry, well, 60 came and went, then 70, then 80 then 90 then 100 and over the last two months it's climbed up to 150 so yesterday with all your words of encouragement I started Navelbine to go along with the Herceptin. I decided my girls and my grandsons still needed me around to make cut out cookies ( I have not passed on the secrets yet) Thank you all for all your positive reinforcement and encouragement you give me when I'm feeling sorry for myself. (I have never been the strong one) I love you all. Also anybody that has had Navelbine I would appreciate any comments. I have not had any naseua but had the chemo sleep (sweatin, clammy, restless) little bit of off taste and the literature said one in ten will loss their hair. Thank again all of you. Love and hugs, Cyndy
