Just finished my first month on Nexavar on the 14th of April. My oncologist had to decrease my dose which he saind is not uncommon by 50% after the first week. All I did when I got home from work was to sleep until the next morning when I got up to go to work again. Also had naucea pretty bad to the point I felt like I would vomit. Since then I have only been taking 2 pills a day not quite so tired now but still have to take naps on occasion. Naucea is also still around but not quite so bad. Lookin forward to June for the first CAT Scan.

PS I have been on Sutent (72 weeks), Avastin (12 weeks), and Torisel (37 weeks) prior to this drug. Had my left kidney, adrenal gland, some lymph nodes, and a colostomy back in 2006 (June - August).

You shouldn't even be working.I went out on ltd in 2008.Can't work on nexavar,the side effects are horrible and what employer wants you puking and pooping all the time at work?I'd say none.They want you to be 100% at work.
