My mom had to deal with frequent nausea and vomiting. Her oncologist gave her some anti-nausea medication but it’s been a tough road. Just a heads up to anyone going through this. Your body is going through a lot.
I wish more people talked about the psychological impact of these side effects. It's not just the physical stuff, but knowing you're in a constant state of high alertness for any problems makes it really tough on your mental health as well.
Vinorelbine caused some serious constipation for me. I ended up having to go to the ER for a bowel blockage. Definitely keep an eye out for that and talk to your doctor if you notice issues.
A friend of mine had a severe allergic reaction to this drug. They ended up in the hospital for a few days and had to be switched to a different treatment. It's scary stuff.
Just started Vinorelbine and have been feeling really tired. Is this normal? It's making it hard to get through the day.
I have to agree with the constipation being the worst part. Just make sure to get enough fiber and water. I've also been using a stool softener as recommended by my doctor.
I've been on Vinorelbine for a few months now, and while it's tough, the benefits seem to outweigh the side effects. Just make sure to stay hydrated and drink lots of water if you get constipation.
I've had a pretty smooth experience so far, just some minor nausea. Keep the faith, everyone!
