For Renal Cell Carcinoma "I have been taking Nexavar now for about 5 months, and the only side effect currently is the dry skin and peeling skin on my hands. Initially, after 2 weeks of use, I developed a rash but pushed through it, and the rash diminished after a few more weeks. I initially went through a normal chemo regimen for a little over a year as I had my right kidney removed for cancer in 1987 and wasn't about to have to go on dialysis for the rest of my days. I was diagnosed with renal cell cancer in August of 2010, and now it has spread to some lymph nodes and my left lung. After starting Nexavar, my lung tumors have slightly diminished in size, so hopefully it will allow me to hang around a few extra years. I work full time and travel extensively, so everyone be positive."
