my wife has been on sutent and then torisel for almost a year. after her kidney was removed in december 06 she was fine until July when she had a tumor in her t-2 bone, thats when they swithed her to torisel from sutent. on wed they drained 1900 ccs of fluid from her chest and the doctor told us a few days later that the cancer had spread to her lungs I assume she will be taken off the torisel does any one have any ideas of what might be a next attempt to slow down the cancer?

I am so sorry your family is going through this.  My mother has a pretty advanced stage of RCC and she is on toricel/chemo.  What does the oncologist say?  Can they do surgery to remove the tumors from her lungs.

do not know yet beacuse I did not talk to the doctor I was not home at the time and she was to distracted with the news to ask any questions. we are waiting one more test result on tuesday to see if its anywhere else.

thanks for your warm feelings. I follow this board religiously.

Be sure your wife is being treated by a doctor that has experience in treating metastatic kidney cancer.  Find one on KIDNEY-ONC (http://cancerguide.org/kofaq/ ) or by calling the Kidney Cancer Association  (800-850-9132).
