renal cell carcinoma
"I have been on Sutent now for 13 months. The full monty at 50 mg. It seems to be doing its main job which is to shrink and freeze the metastasis I have in lungs. I am told my own side effects are mild compared with most. The ones with medical significance and danger are under control - these are the high blood pressure, which is under control with additional blood pressure pills, and the messed up thyroid, also under control with pills. The main things that bothers me are the gastro side effects. I cannot get the diarrhea under control.  The painful violent gas now seems controllable using Simethicone.  I get a very acidy stomach with heartburn in last two weeks of cycle.  Sometimes can relieve with milk."
