This is the first time I'm posting to this board. My mother was diagnosed with metastatic RCC in August in Pakistan. Unfortunately, it had spread to her right shoulder, right thigh and right side of her pelvis...as a result of which she is now bed-ridden. We have tried radiation therapy but had to discontinue because transporting her to the clinic for radiation was extrememly painful. The doctors are now recommending Sutent. I wanted to know if anyone has any views on whether Sutent is better than Nexavar. Also, do you know what the pricing would be and where I could get either of these drugs from? My mother doesn't have insurance in Pakistan and its likely that I have to purchase either Sutent or Nexavar from here in the US to take back with me to Pakistan. Thanks.
I am medical Director in Bayer Schering Pharma- Pakistan, We are getting Apporval for patients from MOH to get Nexavar.However, you can call me at my mobile
