Had my left kidney removed in 1999 due to rc cancer. No problems until 2004 where it had metastised to my right lung. Radiation successful, except for scarring of the lung. In 2006, it had metastised to the tail of my pancreas. Radiation shrunk it, but did not remove it. Later scans showed it had gone back to my lung. The last scan showed it had gone to my liver.

Am now on Sutent. It's too early to judge the effectiveness. Side effects have been mild, so far.

My husband, had right kidney removed for RCC, 6/07. Also effected several lymphnodes. Sutent was the first oral chemo he go. It lasted/worked for 22 months until it failed and he moved to another chemo (next was Afinator which lasted 11 months). He now is on Votrient. It has been over three years now, and he's still alive and active (thank our Lord!), but Sutent had the worst side effects ... Show Full Comment

My husband, had right kidney removed for RCC, 6/07. Also effected several lymphnodes. Sutent was the first oral chemo he go. It lasted/worked for 22 months until it failed and he moved to another chemo (next was Afinator which lasted 11 months). He now is on Votrient. It has been over three years now, and he's still alive and active (thank our Lord!), but Sutent had the worst side effects of any chemo. His feet were so sore (bottoms) and hands, that especially his feet, he said when he walked, it felt like walking on shards of glass. Also diareaha, but it worked ALOT longer than the average person, and he is only now slowing down on work (fatigue from lastest chemo) and it's been three years. He's stage 4, and still works on his FEET (in retail) all of this time with oral chemo, so it's been a real blessing. That's been our expeience. Thanks for listening/reading. ~~A greatful Wife in IL

Just finished 3 months of treamtment, had a positive result on my scans, the kidney and vena cave were full of cancer and surgically removed in December, at that time I had 6 or 7 nodules in my right lung with the largest one about 2 cemtimeters.

Just finished 3 months of treamtment, had a positive result on my scans, the kidney and vena cave were full of cancer and surgically removed in December, at that time I had 6 or 7 nodules in my right lung with the largest one about 2 cemtimeters. The first set of scans after taking the drug showed the largest one of these nodules had shrunk to about 1 centimeter and the others were shrinking as well. Side effects minimal and well worth the results. Worst thing was occasional diahrea but controlled with Immodium very easy. This drug has let me continue to lead a normal life so far. Hope we seee the same positive results on my next set of scans
