Dear Joanne I   Thank you so much for the information. I am hoping that  with sutent the side effects aren't as severe as he had on torisel and that this one works as torisel did not do anything but make my husband sick. God Bless you and thanks again. TamaraKay

my  mom just had her ct scan results last monday.  she has been taking torisel for a year now (she has kidney cancer mets to lungs diagnosed last april 2008).  the past scans has shown no change in nodules.  however, she started coughing 2 weeks ago and the doctor ordered another scan.  this time it showed that the nodules grew (something like 6.8 on the scale?)...the doctor immediately took her off torisel and now saying she has to take sutent.  please keep me posted on your progress.  i am terrified and can't stop crying. 

good luck to you and i'm glad i foudn this site...
