Show: for
Been on Sutent for over a year now and it is shrinking the remaining cancer
3rd Cycle and I'm told I am lucky not only has the cancers stopped growing they have shrunk a little. Side effects are bearable, a little uncomfortable in the mouth and an oversensativity to hot and cold drinks etc and loss of taste.
still on it 3 months now
My father in law was on Sutent for about 16 months. While he was on the Sutent, his tumors shrunk about 19%. It stopped working after about 14 months. The side effects were that he had blisters in his mouth. He said that most foods tasted bad, his feet would swell and get big blisters.
Sutent. No real measureable improvement in tumor reduction or overall well being. Mouth sores ,bleeding gingiva,diarrhea,lost 25 lbs.
One of the possible study drugs I am on. It is a blind study so I do not know for sure. I have side effects such as metal taste in mouth, nausea and fatigue
I'm on my third round of Sutent and everything is stable
I thought it was over. It's back in a new place.
Mild nausea/upset tummy, lots of gas, sores in mouth. Very tired. Almost immediately, his coughing was reduced.
just completed cycle 1 with no side effects.Dont know if its improved anything as yet,just keeping our fingers crossed
