Comment:
Twelve months on sutent. Twelve months I am still alive! The feet, the hands, the runs, and all the other stuff still bother me huge. My tumors did get smaller after the first 2 doses, and now are under control. Which is good, my other kidney was removed because of this abomination called cancer. Together we will win!!

Comment:
Just finished 3rd course, my tumours have shrank a little, blood count is low. I have had a sore mouth and changed to childrens toothpaste which really helps, I can't bear hot or cold drinks either and taste is going. I can live with the side effects I am so happy with the results so far and remain super positive for my family.

I have just finished my 13th round of Sutent. Like others the skin on hands and feet crack and peel. Diahreah also comes after back on the pill for two weeks. After 3 MRIs in a year The results are incouraging. My bone cancer after the Kidney was removed has improved. Hang in there gang it takes a while. The hands and feet are pretty much back to normal now but took 8 months.

Comment:
i HAVE BEEN ON SUTENT FOR 5 MONTHS NOW - THE MOST BOTHERSOME SIDE EFFECT IS SORE AND PEELING FEET - MAKES IT PAINFUL TO WALK AT TIMES. ALSO HAVE HAD STOMACH CRAMPS, BUT THEY ARE TOLERABLE - IT'S THE FEET THAT BOTHER ME THE MOST SINCE IT MAKES IT HARD TO GET AROUND ( I EVEN BORROWED CRUTCHES FROM A FRIEND FOR OCCASIONAL USE). THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT MY FIRST SCANS CAME BACK POSITIVE. HOPEFULL
