Pazopanib for Renal Cell Carcinoma "Daddy has clear cell renal cell carcinoma. He was first put on Opdivo and Yervoy-an immunotherapy. This worked great! It was shrinking my dad's tumors that he had in his stomach, liver, lungs, and right atrium (heart). It even got rid of all the cancer in his stomach. The cancer spread to his brain, and he had to be put on chemotherapy. Votrient had a lot of side effects: nausea, super high blood pressure, major fatigue, and chemo brain fog. He lost 80 pounds on Votrient from not eating. Became frail and fragile, and we were afraid he would die from malnutrition. We begged the doctor to take him off it because she even said he wouldn't live much longer on it, but the issue was the Votrient was SHRINKING the tumors in his liver. This was a sign it was working. His doctor put him on dexamethasone 2 mg, which helped his energy levels and his appetite tremendously. He gained 40 pounds! He was on Votrient 6 months, but BP and brain fog got worse, though, so she then put him on Avastin."

For Renal Cell Carcinoma "My husband was diagnosed with RCC stage 2 in Oct. Last year. He had 1 kidney removed and was on pazopanib 800 mg. But this has been reduced to 400 mg due to severe side effects. Now he takes the 400 mg for 10 days and discontinues for 3 days every time. His oncologist is happy with the test results for now, at least for around 9-10 days per month, he can eat a little more."

For Renal Cell Carcinoma "I have stage 4 RCC. The drug worked for 4 years, the docs were surprised that it worked so long. I had most of the side effects: diarrhea, hair turning white, stomach cramps, but better than the pain. The tumors ate through a rib, 2 neck vertebrae, and my kidney, and some small ones in my lungs. The kidney and vertebrae were removed. The tumors doubled in size. I am now on Afinitor."

For Renal Cell Carcinoma "I was diagnosed Christmas Eve 2007 with a stage 4 tumor on the right kidney. Had nephrectomy of the R kidney, adrenal gland, and a portion of the renal vein in Jan 08. A few months later had a tumor on the L adrenal gland removed. In 2014 RCC met on the left shoulder blade; had 1/3rd of the blade removed. In 2015 a scan showed 7 lesions of various sizes on the liver. Started on 800 mg daily of Votrient in March 2015. Overnight my hair went from dark brown to grey. This is the only side effect I have experienced. The tumors on the liver have gone from 7 to 2 in about 9 years. I do have fatigue, but it is due to a lack of adrenal glands and no hormones. I take synthetic meds for fatigue and replace some hormones. After 5 years, I started having severe diarrhea, so I take a combo of Imodium AD and a probiotic. It helps control it. I feel great as of today, but early on with RCC, had problems walking but could still function. Daily exercise is a must even when one does not feel up to it."

For Renal Cell Carcinoma "My father-in-law (age 76) suffered from renal cell carcinoma. After nephrectomy of the affected kidney, he was fine with a single kidney for more than 1 year. His creatinine was around 1.1 to 1.2 (with a single kidney). He did not have any high blood pressure or diabetes. However, after a routine CT, a few questionable nodules were detected in the lungs. Without cross-verification (like repeat scan/biopsy/PET scan, etc.), his oncologist prescribed him pazopanib 800 mg per day. Soon after starting the medicine, his blood pressure became extremely high (200/100), and creatinine started jumping from 1.1, 1.8, 2.2, 2.8, 3.2, and 3.5 in 3 months. His platelet dropped from 165,000 to below 50,000 with a lot of side effects (vomiting, diarrhea, etc.). We repeatedly informed the oncologist, but he was in denial mode. When we consulted a nephrologist, he stopped the medicine. The deteriorating renal function stopped at creatinine 3.5. But, unfortunately, his platelet did not recover from below the 50,000 mark, and he died due to a cerebral hemorrhage."
