Sorry to hear about your Dad's news. I've heard of Navelbine, in fact it's the drug I would like to try next. Here's some info about it:
• Do not use vinorelbine without first talking to your doctor if you have
· liver disease;
· lung problems;
· nerve problems;
· any type of infection; or
· blood or bone marrow problems.
Vinorelbine can lower the activity of your immune system making you susceptible to infections. Avoid contact with people who have colds, the flu, or other contagious illnesses and do not receive vaccines that contain live strains of a virus (e.g., live oral polio vaccine) during treatment with vinorelbine. In addition, avoid contact with individuals who have recently been vaccinated with a live vaccine. There is a chance that the virus can be passed on to you.
What are the possible side effects of vinorelbine?
• If you experience any of the following serious side effects from vinorelbine, contact your doctor immediately:
· an allergic reaction (including difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives);
· decreased bone marrow function and blood problems (extreme fatigue; easy bruising or bleeding; black, bloody or tarry stools; or fever, chills, or signs of infection);
· redness, pain, or swelling at the injection site;
· abdominal pain or constipation;
· shortness of breath or cough;
· numbness, tingling, or weakness; or
· chest pain.
• Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue taking vinorelbine and talk to your doctor if you experience:
· hair loss;
· fatigue or tiredness;
· nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite; or
· soreness or inflammation or the mouth or sores on the lips or inside the mouth.
• Other side effects have also been reported. Discuss with your doctor any side effect that occurs during treatment with vinorelbine.
All the above information was obtained from http://www.drugs.com/MTM/vinorelbine.html.
I haven't been to any car cruises yet but I plan to go when I find out for sure where they are in my area. North Plaza Mall (by Jerry's Chevrolet) may be on again this year. They were chased out late last year but I heard that it's under new management there so we'll see what happens.
No HOT PEPPERS in my garden. Sorry. I only have a small area for a vegetable garden and it will be filled with tomato and cucumber plants. And I don't always have good luck. I can grow a heck of a vine but my plants don't usually yield much. That's why I plant so many.
