renal cell carcinoma
""Had a partial nephrectomy of the right kidney in 2005. The tumor was papillary renal cell. In Jan. 2016 the cancer reoccurred in several locations in the omentum. Surgery in June 2016 removed a portion of the frontal omentum including papillary renal cell tumors. Multiple nodules still remain in the omentum on both sides of my body. Have been taking 600 mg of votrient since Nov. 2016, now 8 months. Shrinkage by as much as 50% have occurred in some tumors. None have increased in size during the period. Some initial side effects, hypertension, nausea and weakness, have improved during the period; others, diarrhea, taste and poor appetite, remain. At the age of 87 I am trying to stay active. Praying for improvements for all of us."
