Cabozantinib for Thyroid Cancer "'This drug is not good.' My father was on 60 mg Cabozantinib for about 5 weeks with a lot of side effects. His BP is normal, but fatigue is still there, and he can't walk without support. His hands, feet, and whole body were numb. He can't walk more than 10 steps. Also, every day before or after taking food, he is vomiting, which is still continuing. His weight before we started Cometriq (Cabozantinib) was 52.5 kg, and now his weight is 45 kg. Today I decided to stop this medicine. So expensive for a medicine that does nothing. The best way to earn money is to play with people's emotions. This method is not good for the patient and the patient's family."

For Thyroid Cancer "My mum was diagnosed with thyroid cancer - C73 diagnosis. She has been on medication for 11 months now. As a side effect, diarrhea, sore mouth issues, not able to eat or brush her teeth, which resulted in her teeth falling out, numbness in her hands. For her, the most difficult thing is losing so much weight. Within a few months, she lost over 30 kilos, and she can't put it back on as every single piece of food is just going through her. She has been avoiding going out as she can't control her movements. We also noticed her cognitive function was very much affected when she was on 140 or 120 mg, but once the dosage was lowered to 60 mg, I got my mum back. Diarrhea is still persisting on 60 mg, and weight is not increasing. So far, the results are that it is not spreading."

For Renal Cell Carcinoma "I was diagnosed with stage 4 renal cell carcinoma in Jan 2021. The tumor in my kidney was 9cm and was removed within 14 days from finding. The right kidney was removed, and results came back with all margins clear. 2 yrs later, a nodule returned where the kidney was removed, but also metastasis in my C4 neck. In 2023, I have now taken for 20 months. As of Aug 25, I initially started with 40mg, but side effects included blistering of the tongue, corns on feet, and poor kidney function bloods. Dose dropped to 20mg. Now, very mild side effects. Latest results show no metastasis, tumor the same size, but importantly no progression and no new findings. I wanted to share what is working well for me. Having a tablet at 4-5 am. Eating porridge with fruit on top (strawberries/blueberries) somehow boosts me for the day, and bowels are regular. Going to the podiatrist every 5 weeks to clear cornea and dry skin."
