It hasnt been that hard on me as some others that have taken it. I was REALLY happy I didnt get the "Hand/Foot" thing. I do have quite a bit of fatigue and some sickness though. But so far, it seems to be working.
very difficult because my back was destroyed in 1998 for which I had fusion of L4/L5. But it now hurts at the sacrum level. And I am very depressed.
Nexavar is working for me,now it was not easy, within 3 week had side effects but with reseach and my doctors were able to handle them. One suggestion eat most inportant.
Worked well for several months, then stopped working. Was to be started on Sutent, but disease progressed too much. Had several courses of radiation for metastases.
Not Working
had to discontinue after only 10 days due to side effects

Too toxic - could not handle side effects. Hand-foot disease was rampant throughout my entire body.
Side effects were too great to continue treatment
