renal cell carcinoma
"I was diagnosed with Renal Cell Carcinoma on the 30/1/14 stage 4 with tumors on my lymph nodes and around my stomach and was told I had 9/12 months to live, my left kidney was removed in Sept 13 but this was my downfall and the Cancer spread. After starting Sutent in February I can honestly say it has helped me, the tumors on my lymph have shrunk and the cancer in my stomach has not changed, the side effects were harsh on my first cycle which was 50mg , the usual side effects, sore tongue, hands, feet, etc. so I went on 37.5 mg and this has helped also. I have had 4 cycles now and have just started my 2 week break to detox but I feel the first week of this I do suffer withdrawal symptoms. I hope this helps."
