Hi.. I am 65 and had my L kidney removed last April. Recently a tumor has shown to have grown back in the same area and I am on Sorafenib. Every place else looks good for now. I am getting bad reactions....face is so sore and red...and very itchy scalp and also my blood pressure was so high I ended up in the hospital. So now I am on 2 pills a day....but still have these side effects. How is it going for you by taking 1 pill a day? How long have you been on it? I've only been on it for about a week or so. Any info is very much appreciated....thanks. sewingnana
Hi.. I am also a 66 year old gal. Iam trying to get the courage up to go onSorafenib. I had an angio sarcoma removed from my scalp last March I had nothing showing on cat scan after that. I have had my lungs collapse after radiation, three times. My recent cat scan shows lesions on spleen and liver. They now are offering me the trial study. I read that you have very itchy scalp, and high Blood Pressure. Others mention sore feet and hands. I suppose these things are not life threatening. but at this time I still feel o.k. will It stop one from driving, sleeping? I guess I havent faced the alternatives yet. Hope all is still going well for you. ..need some encouragement, B.King
