Hi! Mamma V,    Just an update on my treatment since the last time I thought the Sutent wasn't working. It appears the Sutent  is keeping everything stable, one tumor accually shrank 2mm. The dr said to keep on the same track and get as much milage as we can before we switch to something else.How is your husband doing on Torisel? Any side effects? Would be interested since that may be the next treatment for me. Take Care & May God Bless you both       John

Well may God bless your husband and all. For renal cell carcinoma you should try sutent after consulting your doc.

I have completed 2nd cycle of sutent and am feeling ok my mets have shown regression.
