For Renal Cell Carcinoma "On Sutent for 9 months and was extremely fatigued but minimally nauseous. Doctor's estimate is an additional 9 months. Original diagnosis was clear cell cancer and removed right kidney. Annual exam revealed it metastasized to left adrenal gland. PET scan reveals some tumors have disappeared and remaining ones are shrinking. No new tumors seem to have appeared. My quality of life has not seemed to have decreased and I feel blessed every day that Sutent therapy is working for me."

For Renal Cell Carcinoma "Also from Mumbai. Also, my dad has started taking Sutent for his RCC condition, 37.5 mg dose, 2 weeks and 1 week off. But he experienced fatigue and temperature and high BP, loss of taste, and flatulence. Would like to know what diet plan you followed to cope with your side effects. And will the side effects subside with time?"

For Renal Cell Carcinoma "Been on Sutent for 3 months, my dose is 50 mg, 2 weeks on, 1 week off. Initial side effects are fatigue, some small sores on tongue, taste buds off, hair thinning, some diarrhea, and dry skin. They are subsiding a little as time goes by. All in all, nothing I can’t deal with for a while. So far, the scan is good. Very expensive drug, but after some doing, I got on the patient assistance program."
