I am a 55 year old female with recurrent mesothelioma. I am being treated with Navelbine and I am now on my 2nd cycle ( 1 cycle = 4 weeks/infusion every week for 3 weeks and 1 week off) My oncologist isn't sure that my symtoms are from Navelbine, but they started immediately after my first infusion. First episode was weak muscles in the face, almost like Bells Palsy (1st cycle). During the 2nd cycle I passed out and then gradually got weaker and weaker during the 3rd week of 2nd cycle until I started to experience, dizziness, light-headedness, difficult walking with a loss of balance, unusual tiredness and headaches. I haven't been able to find these type of side effects listed on any of Navelbine's websites.

I just started my second pack of Loestrin 24 Fe two days ago. I have not had any nausea, weight gain, unusual acne, loss of libido, or crazy mood swings. I have, however, had non-stop breakthrough bleeding. In the past month, there has only been one day where I was not bleeding. I take it at the same time every morning and have not missed a day. I'm really trying to be patient and give it a couple more months...but it has gotten very annoying. I got on the pill because I recently decided to become sexually active. Having my period 24/7, though, has kept me from actually wanting to start. I was on Ortho (the original) back in high school for regularity, and it made me gain 15 pounds and have intense mood swings. Beyond the btb, I love the lack of weird side effects....has anybody made it past the first 3 months to find more regularity with no side effects?
