Sutent (sunitinib) for Renal Cell Carcinoma "This was my 2nd line of treatment. I did not response to this medicine. I had many side effects. The worst being low platelets that caused me twice to stopped 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."

Sutent (sunitinib) for Renal Cell Carcinoma "I have taking Sutent from July 4, 2016, I have crossed 100 cycles and on 101 now. It's 2 weeks on 1 week off 50mg 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 end of my cycle I go on salads and yogurt."
