Sunitinib for Renal Cell Carcinoma "I collected my brother's ashes yesterday. He was on Sutent for sarcomatoid kidney cancer. Sutent made him so very, very ill, it destroyed any quality of life he had left before he died (6 months from diagnosis to his passing). He died after 5 days in the hospital vomiting blood, possibly from a perforated stomach/intestine/bowel. This drug is so cytotoxic my local pharmacy refused to accept the remaining tablets we had after he died. Sutent, I called it an evil drug, as that's what it is."

Sunitinib for Renal Cell Carcinoma "This was my 2nd line of treatment. I did not respond to this medicine. I had many side effects, the worst being low platelets that caused me twice to stop treatment temporarily. I dose reduced from 50 to 37.5, but it did not help. I had nausea that was tolerable for the most part, thanks to a nausea patch. I had to get one transfusion due to blood counts. My hair thinned and turned white, but that's mild. Hair has since returned to prior thickness and color."

Sunitinib for Renal Cell Carcinoma "I have been taking Sutent since July 4, 2016. I have crossed 100 cycles and am on 101 now. It's 2 weeks on, 1 week off, 50 mg a day. It has worked for me, be positive and carry on. When my feet crack, I apply coconut oil with cotton and bandage it. When it pains, I dip my legs in cold water. Nearing the end of my cycle, I go on salads and yogurt."
