There are many side effects. I can deal with these so far. I have been on sutent for 4 years. Currently 25mg, 4 weeks on and 2 weeks off. I started with 50mg then 37.5 mg. So far as I know it is effective. Scans next week.

Les effets indésirables sont une fatigue importante, manque de tonus musculaire, perte d'appétit, baisse du goût, saignement rectal, assèchement de la peau. Les efforts en valent la peine puisque ma tumeur au cerveau de 15mm c'est complètement résorbée en 2 mois. En d'autres termes, ce médicament m'a sauvé la vie même si c'est dure au quotidien.

My mom was prescribed Sutent for kidney cancer. Had pre-screening x rays, heart test, and blood work. All checked out great. Started in October. Took until Dec 6 when she developed pneumonia - couldn't kick it. Doc took x-ray, found extremely enlarged heart - caused by Sutent. She had side effects of sores in mouth, loss of taste. Never could kick the sores in mouth, her body was worn out from the heart damage. Even cancer doc said Sutent ruined her heart - kicker was, it didn't help her at all, tumors still grew. Changed medicine, but damage to heart was too severe, she was never able to kick the pneumonia and died from it. Wish doctor had given is other options, or explained better the chances of heart damage. Downplayed it, other message boards have several people with heart damage from it, too.
